Relevance 

SerpinB8 is a serine proteinase inhibitor of the ovalbumin like B clade of serpins. It was first discovered in the placenta in a search for serpins similar to serpinB6. Chondrocyte like cells were shown to have enhanced expression of SerpinB8 after tumor necrosis factor alpha stimulation. Megakaryocytes have been shown to synthesize SerpinB8 and the protein is stored in platelets prior to release. SerpinB8 has also been shown to be elevated in the remodeling kidney, and message has been detected in normal human spleen, pituitary gland, epidermis, lung, liver, stomach, pancreas, and the mucosa oropharynx.
SerpinB8 has been shown to inhibit trypsin and thrombin. In addition to the RCL cleavage site, SerpinB8 has two paired dibasic consensus sites which flank the RCL cleavage sites for trypsin, chymotrypsin and thrombin, and allow it to inhibit furin.
The original sequence described was 374 amino acids in length, with predicted mass of 42.79 kDa and pI of 5.28. A 242 amino acid long form that terminates before the RCL, and thus would be inactive as a proteinase inhibitor, has a predicted mass of 27.7 kDa and a pI of 4.61. The relative abundance or distribution of the smaller form is unknown.
