Gene:
serine protease inhibitor-like, with Kunitz and WAP domains 1 (eppin)
Gene ID:
205354
Symbol:
SPINLW1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes an epididymal protease inhibitor, which contains both kunitz-type and WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) protease inhibitor consensus sequences. Most WFDC genes are localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene is a member of the WFDC gene family and belongs to the telomeric cluster. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
