SLPI

Basics

Aliases:
This biomarker is also known as:
  • antileukoproteinase,
  • WAP4,
  • ALP,
  • WAP four-disulfide core domain protein 4,
  • HUSI-I,
  • secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (antileukoproteinase),
  • MPI,
  • Mucus proteinase inhibitor,
  • WFDC4,
  • BLPI,
  • secretory leukocyte peptidase inhibitor,
  • Seminal proteinase inhibitor,
  • ALK1,
  • HUSI,

Description…

SLPI is a secreted inhibitor which protects epithelial tissues from serine proteases. It is found in various secretions including seminal plasma, cervical mucus, and bronchial secretions, and has affinity for trypsin, leukocyte elastase, and cathepsin G. Its inhibitory effect contributes to the immune response by protecting epithelial surfaces from attack by endogenous proteolytic enzymes; the protein is also thought to have broad-spectrum anti-biotic activity.
