Background: Serpin B3/SCCA1

Serpin B3, also known as squamous cell carcinoma antigen-1 (SCCA-1), is a member of the serpin superfamily of serine protease inhibitors (1). Serpins primarily inhibit serine proteases and some are known to inhibit caspases and papain-like cysteine proteases (1). Serpin B3 belongs to the subgroup ovalbumin-related serpins which are involved in the regulation of apoptosis, inflammation, angiogenesis and embryogenesis (2). Serpin B3 was initially isolated from human cervical squamous cell tissue. It is a tumor marker for squamous cell carcinomas in various areas including the cervix, head, neck and lung (3). Unlike typical serpins, Serpin B3 shows inhibitory activity against papain-like lysosomal cysteine proteases Cathepsin K, L, and S, while lacking inhibitory activity against serine proteases (4).
