Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 18787 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium; negative regulation of plasminogen activation; and regulation of angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to transforming growth factor beta stimulus; placenta development; and regulation of angiogenesis. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; extraembryonic component; liver; oocyte; and placenta. Used to study Alzheimer's disease and Coronavirus infectious disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Graves' disease; artery disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and retinal vascular disease (multiple). Orthologous to human SERPINE1 (serpin family E member 1). PHENOTYPE: Although mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display an essentially normal phenotype, a mild blood clotting defect does exist. Mice homozygous for an allele with amino acid substitutions exhibit decreased sensitivity to LPS-induced lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
