serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade D (heparin cofactor), member 1

This gene belongs to the serpin gene superfamily. Serpins play roles in many processes including inflammation, blood clotting, and cancer metastasis. Members of this family have highly conserved secondary structures with a reactive center loop that interacts with the protease active site to inhibit protease activity. This gene encodes a plasma serine protease that functions as a thrombin and chymotrypsin inhibitor. The protein is activated by heparin, dermatan sulfate, and glycosaminoglycans. Allelic variations in this gene are associated with heparin cofactor II deficiency. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]

heparin-binding EGF-like growth factor

Enables growth factor activity; heparin binding activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and positive regulation of wound healing. Located in cell surface. Is active in extracellular space. Implicated in glomerulosclerosis and perinatal necrotizing enterocolitis. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]
