SERPINE1

SERPINE1

A gene on chromosome 7q21.3-q22 that encodes a serine protease inhibitor that acts on tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase, inhibiting fibrinolysis.
Molecular pathology
SERPINE1 mutations cause plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency; high concentrations of the gene product are associated with thrombophilia.
