UniProt functional annotation for P05546

UniProt code: P05546.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Thrombin inhibitor activated by the glycosaminoglycans, heparin or dermatan sulfate. In the presence of the latter, HC-II becomes the predominant thrombin inhibitor in place of antithrombin III (AT-III). Also inhibits chymotrypsin, but in a glycosaminoglycan- independent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1939083}.
 
Function: Peptides at the N-terminal of HC-II have chemotactic activity for both monocytes and neutrophils. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1939083}.
 
Tissue specificity: Expressed predominantly in liver. Also present in plasma.
Domain: The N-terminal acidic repeat region mediates, in part, the glycosaminoglycan-accelerated thrombin inhibition.
Ptm: Phosphorylated by FAM20C in the extracellular medium. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26091039}.
Disease: Thrombophilia due to heparin cofactor 2 deficiency (THPH10) [MIM:612356]: A hemostatic disorder characterized by a tendency to recurrent thrombosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10391209, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11204559, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15337701, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2647747}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity: Belongs to the serpin family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=CAG30459.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
