Product details:
Human Serpin A5 ELISA Kit (ab277462) is an
in-vitro
enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of Human Serpin A5 in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for Human Serpin A5 coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Human Serpin A5 present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-Human Serpin A5 antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Human Serpin A5 bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Serpin A5 also known as Protein C Inhibitor (PCI) or Mesotrypsin inhibitor is a member of the serine protease inhibitor family with a mass of approximately 47 kDa. It plays a mechanical role as an inhibitor of several proteases such as trypsin tissue-type plasminogen activator and urokinase-type plasminogen activator. This protein is highly expressed in tissues including the liver kidneys and seminal plasma suggesting its involvement in reproductive and hemostatic processes.
Biological function summary
Serpin A5 regulates critical physiological processes through its inhibitory function. It interacts with and inhibits target proteases controlling pathways involved in coagulation and fibrinolysis. Serpin A5 does not form part of larger protein complexes but exerts its function through direct interactions. Its modulatory action impacts processes such as cell migration and tumor invasion highlighting its role in broader cellular environments.
Pathways
Serpin A5 is an important regulator in the coagulation cascade and fibrinolytic pathways. It acts to modulate the balance between coagulation and fibrinolysis critical for maintaining hemostasis. This protein is related to other serpins such as Antithrombin III and Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 through its regulatory actions in these pathways. The inhibition of proteases by Serpin A5 ensures proper activation and termination of these biological processes which are essential for vascular integrity.
Serpin A5 is connected to conditions like thrombophilia and prostate cancer. Dysregulation in its expression or function leads to altered coagulation increasing the risk of thrombotic events. In prostate cancer its role is linked through pathways involving the matrix metalloproteinases where Serpin A5 can influence tumor progression and metastasis. Understanding its interactions with proteins in these diseases provides insights into potential therapeutic strategies.
