Abstract
Plasma inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor (I alpha TI) is a major representative of the superfamily of Kunitz-type protease inhibitors in mammals. Formerly, I alpha TI was considered to be a single polypeptide, but recent molecular genetic studies have demonstrated an unexpected multipolypeptide chain structure. The newly discovered genes and gene products form the basis of a new family of I alpha TI-related protease inhibitors.Mesh:
