Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor Type-2 (PAI-2)/SerpinB2: A Unique Multifunctional Serpin

  • Chapter
The Serpin Family

Abstract

Plasminogen activator inhibitor type-2 (PAI-2) or SerpinB2 is a clade B serine protease inhibitor (serpin) with unique properties that was originally identified as an inhibitor of the secreted serine protease, urokinase-plasminogen activator (uPA). The plasminogen activating cascade is well recognized to play an important fibrinolytic role in maintaining vascular patency and for remodeling of the extracellular matrix. On the other hand, PAI-2 is present predominantly as a nucleocytoplasmic protein, and it has been shown to have a number of pleiotropic activities associated with its intracellular localization. Upregulation of PAI-2 is a major stress response in multiple cell types and recent data have started to illuminate PAI-2 functions in the cell, having immunomodulatory, cytoprotective, and anti-inflammatory activities.
