Gene nameSPINK2
Protein nameSerine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 2 (Acrosin-trypsin inhibitor) (Epididymis tissue protein Li 172) (HUSI-II)
Serine peptidase inhibitor Kazal type 2
Synonyms
DescriptionFUNCTION: As a strong inhibitor of acrosin, it is required for normal spermiogenesis. It probably hinders premature activation of proacrosin and other proteases, thus preventing the cascade of events leading to spermiogenesis defects . May be involved in the regulation of serine protease-dependent germ cell apoptosis (By similarity). It also inhibits trypsin. .
