|
| Function |
Protease inhibitor required for egg fertilization. Required to prevent premature zona pellucida hardening before fertilization, probably by inhibiting the protease activity of ASTL, a protease that mediates the cleavage of ZP2 and triggers zona pellucida hardening (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Secreted {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Liver and testis.
