Serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A (alpha-1 antiproteinase, antitrypsin), member 2 is a

humans is encoded by the SERPINA2 gene. Serine peptidase inhibitor, clade A member 2 belongs to the member of serine family of proteins which have a functional activity of inhibiting serine proteases.[3]

Discovery

SERPINA2 was known as

Gene location

SERPINA2 is located at 14q32.13.[5]

Gene expression and localisation

Extracellular predictions of SERPINs and common domain clades show that ER localisation of SERPINA2 are most likely be more, these common ER motifs indicates their localisation are most likely to be in the ER.[6]

Structure

Population studies indicate that this gene is

EXPASY, and has shown that SERPINA2 preserves a SERPIN reactive centre loop which is most compatible with protease inhibitory activity. The consensus sequence surrounding the reactive centre loop have diverged considerably so that now it contains tryptophan sarin motifs instead of the methionine serine motif.[8]

Function

SERPINA2 was previously identified as pseudogene; however, recently there have been new evidence which specifies that SERPINA2 produces an active transcript that is responsible for encoding protein located in the endoplasmic reticulum. A detailed study of the SERPINA2 gene across multiple ethnic groups have relieved that with the addition of SERPINA2 gene therein a haplotype characterisation by partial deletion which has patterns suggesting positive selection of loss of function of SERPINA2 protein.[5]

SERPINA2 studies have shown different results regarding the extent of sequence degeneration it can undergo.

testes which gives a residual expression in liver. SERPINA2 have been linked with on going adaptive process linked with advantages in the role of fertility and host pathogen interactions.[8]

Mutations

A critical mutation present in the start codon and an 2kb deletion over exon IV and part of exon V. This deletion in the start codon occurs at a frequency of 30%.[4] Studies with SERPINA2 in vitro and in vivo have shown that it expresses stable proteins with n-linked glycosylation with a molecular weight of 52kDa and compatible with regular SERPINs [8]

Disease associated

SERPINA2 is a member of SERPIN family, which are known as protein coding genes. A disease associated with this gene is emphysema, due to aat protein deficiency. SERPINA2 has similar function to SERPINA1 and is related to the function of serine type peptidase inhibitor activity.[10]
