Comparative functional genomics reveals distributed SERPINE1 like characteristics among Drosophila serpins
Serpins (serine protease inhibitors) regulate proteolytic activity through a suicide-substrate inhibitory mechanism, whereby the serpin covalently traps and inactivates their target protease. Serpins are broadly conserved across eukaryotes, but the evolutionary and functional relationships between human SERPINE1, and Drosophila Serpins in incompletely defined. To identify candidate Drosophila…
