Background: Serpin B4

Serpin B4, also known as squamous cell carcinoma antigen 2 (SCCA-2), is an approximately 45 kDa member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors (1). Serpin B4 belongs to the subgroup ovalbumin-related serpins which are involved in the intracellular regulation of apoptosis, inflammation, angiogenesis and embryogenesis (2). Serpin B4 shares 91% sequence identity to Serpin B3, also known as squamous cell carcinoma antigen 1 (SCCA-1), with key differences in the reactive site loops leading to inhibition of distinct classes of proteases (3). Serpin B4 inhibits chymotrypsin-like serine proteases (3). Serpin B4 inhibits apoptosis via STAT activation in an infection (4) and in carcinoma cells (5). It is a mediator in Ras-driven cancer and inflammation (6). Serpin B4 also is a core protein from which Pso p27, an autoantigen present in chronic inflammatory diseases, is derived (7, 8).
