About PZP

Cytogenetic location: 12p13.31 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 12:9,136,472-9,208,395 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 584 orthologues and 8 paralogues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 5.3), endometrium (RPKM 1.0) and 2 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in late-pregnancy serum and is similar in structure to alpha-2-macroglobulin. The encoded protein, which acts as a homotetramer, inhibits the activity of all four classes of proteinases. This protein contains cleavage sites for several proteinases. Upon binding of a proteinase, the conformation of this protein changes to trap the proteinase, limiting its activity. This protein appears to be elevated in the sera of presymptomatic Alzheimer's disease patients. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
