Gene: SERPINE2
Alternate names for this Gene: GDN|GDNPF|PI-7|PI7|PN-1|PN1|PNI
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the serpin family of proteins, a group of proteins that inhibit serine proteases. Thrombin, urokinase, plasmin and trypsin are among the proteases that this family member can inhibit. This gene is a susceptibility gene for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and for emphysema. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2q36.1
Description of this Gene: serpin family E member 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
