Characterization of Four Murine Homologs of the Human ov-serpin Monocyte Neutrophil Elastase Inhibitor MNEI (SERPINB1)
25 Oct 2002
Abstract excerpt
The human ov-serpin monocyte neutrophil elastase inhibitor (MNEI) is encoded by a single gene SERPINB1. It is a highly efficient inhibitor of neutrophil granule proteases. Four murine genes with high sequence identity with MNEI were identified and fully sequenced, and these were named EIA, EIB, EIC, and EID. EIA, EIB and EIC showed the same seven-exon gene structure as SERPINB1. However, EIC included an...
