Protein name Alpha-2-macroglobulin (Alpha-2-M) (C3 and PZP-like alpha-2-macroglobulin domain-containing protein 5)
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
