| UniProt functional annotation for P07385 | |||
| UniProt code: P07385. |
| Organism: | Cowpox virus (strain Brighton Red) (CPV). | |
| Taxonomy: | Viruses; Varidnaviria; Bamfordvirae; Nucleocytoviricota; Pokkesviricetes; Chitovirales; Poxviridae; Chordopoxvirinae; Orthopoxvirus. | |
| Function: | Specific and potent inhibitor of the interleukin-1-beta converting enzyme (ICE) thereby suppressing an interleukin-1 beta response to infection. The inhibition of ICE by crmA is an example of a 'cross-class' interaction, in which a serpin inhibits a non-serine proteinase. Also inhibits granzyme B. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1339309, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8034697}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Host cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the serpin family. Poxviruses subfamily. {ECO:0000305}. | |
