Entrez ID 5858
Gene name PZP alpha-2-macroglobulin like
Gene symbol PZP
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CPAMD6
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12p13.31
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is highly expressed in late-pregnancy serum and is similar in structure to alpha-2-macroglobulin. The encoded protein, which acts as a homotetramer, inhibits the activity of all four classes of proteinases. This protein co

Protein name Pregnancy zone protein (C3 and PZP-like alpha-2-macroglobulin domain-containing protein 6)
Protein function Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bai
