SERPINB8 - serpin family B member 8 Gene
Also Known as PI8; CAP2; PI-8; PSS5; C18orf53
Species: Homo sapiens
About SERPINB8
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 410 orthologues, 36 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 7.4), gall bladder (RPKM 5.8) and 23 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ov-serpin family of serine Protease Inhibitors. The encoded protein is produced by platelets and can bind to and inhibit the function of Furin, a serine protease involved in platelet functions. In addition, this protein has been found to enhance the mechanical stability of cell-cell adhesion in the skin, and defects in this gene have been associated with an autosomal-recessive form of exfoliative ichthyosis.
