GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
SPINT1 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
HAI, MANSC2
Description
Serine peptidase inhibitor, Kunitz type 1 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Kunitz family of serine protease inhibitors. The protein is a potent inhibitor specific for HGF activator and is thought to be involved in the regulation of the proteolytic activation of HGF in injured tissues. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
