NCIt synonyms : PAI2; PLANH2; Serine (or Cysteine) Proteinase Inhibitor, Clade B (Ovalbumin), Member 2 wt Allele;
NCIt definition : Human SERPINB2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 18q21.3 and is approximately
16 kb in length. This allele, which encodes plasminogen activator inhibitor 2 protein,
is involved in the inhibition of urokinase-type plasminogen activator.;
NCIt note : Up-regulation of SERPINB2 gene expression is associated with inhibition of metastasis
and a better prognosis for cancer patients. This gene is expressed in keratinocytes,
macrophages, monocytes, placenta, and the trophoblast.;
