Novel serine protease inhibitory protein mt0039

摘要

A gene and a protein participating in the control of serine protease activity and a method of efficiently evaluating an activity controlling agent for the protein are provided. A DNA comprising the nucleotide sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1; a serine protease inhibitory protein encoded by the DNA; a method of screening for an agent capable of binding to the protein with the use of the protein; an antisense nucleic acid to the DNA; and an antibody specific for the protein.
