WFIKKN1


Description

The WFIKKN1 (WAP, follistatin/kazal, immunoglobulin, kunitz and netrin domain containing 1) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

WFIKKN1 encodes a secreted protein with several domains: a signal peptide, a WAP domain, a follistatin domain, an immunoglobulin domain, two Kunitz domains, and an NTR domain. These domains are commonly associated with protease inhibition, suggesting that WFIKKN1 encodes a multivalent protease inhibitor that can regulate multiple serine proteases and metalloproteinases.

WFIKKN1 encodes a protein with multiple distinct protease inhibitor domains, suggesting it inhibits both serine proteases and metalloproteases.

WFIKKN1 is also known as C16orf12, RJD2, WFDC20A, WFIKKN.
