Synonyms
CAP3, PI9
Description
Serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade B (ovalbumin), member 9 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
This gene encodes a member of the serine protease inhibitor family which are also known as serpins. The encoded protein belongs to a subfamily of intracellular serpins. This protein inhibits the activity of the effector molecule granzyme B. Overexpression of this protein may prevent cytotoxic T-lymphocytes from eliminating certain tumor cells. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 6. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]
