[Expressed in keratinocytes, monocytes, macrophages, placenta, and trophoblast by human SERPINB2 Gene (Serpin Family), 415-aa 47-kDa (predicted, unglycosylated) cytoplasmic Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 2 is a specific inhibitor of urokinase-type plasminogen activator thought to regulate plasminogen activation in the extravascular compartment and to have a possible role in placental maintenance or embryo development. The primary intracellular distribution of SERPINB2 may also indicate a regulatory role in a protease-dependent cellular process such as apoptosis. (NCI) ( NCI )]
