Preferred Label : proteinase inhibitory proteins, secretory;
MeSH definition : Peptides and proteins found in BODILY SECRETIONS and BODY FLUIDS that are PROTEASE
INHIBITORS. They play a role in INFLAMMATION, tissue repair and innate immunity (IMMUNITY,
INNATE) by inhibiting endogenous proteinases such as those produced by LEUKOCYTES
and exogenous proteases such as those produced by invading microorganisms.;
