Gene: SERPINF2
Alternate names for this Gene: A2AP|AAP|ALPHA-2-PI|API|PLI
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the serpin family of serine protease inhibitors. The protein is a major inhibitor of plasmin, which degrades fibrin and various other proteins. Consequently, the proper function of this gene has a major role in regulating the blood clotting pathway. Mutations in this gene result in alpha-2-plasmin inhibitor deficiency, which is characterized by severe hemorrhagic diathesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 17
Location in Chromosome : 17p13.3
Description of this Gene: serpin family F member 2
Type of Gene: protein-coding
