Description
Description
The serpin family is a structurally-related group of secreted proteins containing the serpin-fold, a 350-400 amino acid domain. The non-inhibitory serpins (SERine Protease INhibitors) lack the key proteinase cleavage site required to target proteases. The non-inhibitory serpins have diverse roles and in D.mel, many are uncharacterised. (Adapted from FBrf0213937 & FBrf0209216).
Notes on Group

The list of NON-INHIBITORY SERPINS is taken from Table I, FBrf0209216. They are predicted to lack protease inhibitory actively due to the lack of the proteinase cleavage site.

CG43366 encodes a large (2140 amino acid) protein with a C-terminal block of 350 amino acids with homology to the serpin core. FBrf0213937 states that "to the best of our knowledge, this is the only example of a serpin-related fold that is incorporated into a large protein".
