UniProtKB accession:  Q7QIJ8

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Serine protease inhibitor that functions in the melanization-mediated immune response (PubMed:16113656, PubMed:20953892, PubMed:21465556, PubMed:25525260, PubMed:33045027, PubMed:33520733). By preventing the activation of phenoloxidases through the inhibiting of serine proteases CLIPB9, CLIPB10 and CLIPB4, negatively regulates melanization in the hemolymph (PubMed:16113656, PubMed:20953892, PubMed:21465556, PubMed:25525260, PubMed:33045027, PubMed:33520733, PubMed:37703846). By preventing melanization, has a detrimental role during P.berghei parasite mediated-infection and invasion of the mosquito midgut (PubMed:16113656).
