Abstract excerpt
Clade B serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) are intracellular proteins, whereas most of their identified targets are extracellular. A proposed intracellular role for these inhibitors is protection from apoptosis. We investigated the contribution of serpinB2 (plasminogen activator inhibitor-2, PAI-2) activity in TNF-alpha-induced apoptosis. PAI-2 is expressed in many normal and transformed cell types,...
