Summary: Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in positive regulation of biosynthetic process and positive regulation of glomerular mesangial cell proliferation. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Biomarker of nephritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in IgA glomerulonephritis; Nagashima-type palmoplantar keratosis; and familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies. Orthologous to human SERPINB7 (serpin family B member 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

over-expression of megsin induced incorporation of [(3)H]thymidine in mesangial cells and PDGF-BB, TGF-beta1 upregulation
Title: Overexpression of megsin induces mesangial cell proliferation and excretion of type IV collagen in vitro.
high glucose per se induces megsin expression both in vivo in a model of type II diabetic nephropathy and in vitro in cultured mesangial cells, in which it also inhibits total MMP-2 and MMP-9 activities and plasmin enzymatic activity.
Title: The role of megsin, a serine protease inhibitor, in diabetic mesangial matrix accumulation.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
