Supplementary information

Biological function summary

The function of A1BG involves interaction with cysteine proteinase inhibitors though it is not part of any known large protein complex. It participates in the regulation of protease activity by sequestering inhibitors from the active site of proteases. This regulation plays a role in maintaining balanced proteolytic activity in tissues which is important for processes such as inflammation and tissue remodeling.

Pathways

A1BG is involved in metabolic processes of extracellular proteins. The protein does not interact directly with major signaling pathways but it influences them indirectly by modulating enzymatic activity. A1BG interacts with alpha-2-macroglobulin which is part of the protease inhibitor category and is also involved in the immune response. This relationship impacts the bioavailability and activity of various cytokines and growth factors affecting pathways like inflammation control and extracellular matrix organization.
