SerpinA3j, a member of the serine peptidase inhibitor clade A, is predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and be involved in the negative regulation of endopeptidase activity. It is active in the extracellular space and has orthologs implicated in various diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, and vasculitis.
Inhibition of SerpinA3j involves direct and indirect mechanisms. Direct inhibitors, such as Alpha-1 Antitrypsin and Aprotinin, directly block its serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity, preventing the negative regulation of endopeptidase activity. Indirect inhibitors, like Camostat and Sivelestat, influence SerpinA3j by targeting proteases or modulating coagulation pathways, impacting its role in regulating endopeptidase activity. Understanding the intricate balance of serine protease regulation and the diverse mechanisms of inhibition provides insights into strategies targeting SerpinA3j in diseases associated with dysregulated proteolysis. The complex interplay between these inhibitors and SerpinA3j highlights the importance of maintaining protease-antiprotease balance in physiological and pathological conditions.
