| Description | Serpins (SERine Proteinase INhibitors) belong to MEROPS inhibitor family I4, clan ID. Most serpin family members are indeed serine protease inhibitors, but several have additional cross-class inhibition functions and inhibit cysteine protease family members such as the caspases and cathepsins [ , ]. Others, such as ovalbumin, are incapable of protease inhibition and serve other functions [].This entry represents a conserved site for the Serpin family of proteins, centred on a well conserved Pro-Phe sequence which is found ten to fifteen residues on the C-terminal side of the reactive bond. | Name | Serpin, conserved site |
| Short Name | Serpin_CS | Type | Conserved_site |
