General Description
SerPINE1 is a serine proteinase inhibitor that blocks fibrinolysis by inhibiting tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase (uPA). Genetic variations in SERPINE1 have been linked to pre-eclampsia (PE). Studies have reported that targeting SERPINE1 (PAI-1) expression in Alzheimer′s disease may have therapeutic implications. Moreover, MiR-34c regulates SERPINE1 expression in emphysema.
Rabbit Anti-SerPINE1 antibody recognizes pig, human, mouse, rat, and bovine SERPINE1.
Biochem/physiol Actions
SERPINE1 acts as ′bait′ for tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase, and protein C. Its rapid interaction with TPA may function as a major control point in the regulation of fibrinolysis.
