Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor Definition

Encoded by human SLPI Gene, 132-aa 14-kDa (precursor) Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor is an acid-stable proteinase inhibitor with 2 WAP-type domains found in seminal plasma, cervical mucus, and bronchial secretions. With affinity for trypsin, chymotrypsin, leukocyte elastase, and cathepsin G, SLPI contributes to the immune response by protecting epithelial surfaces from attack by endogenous serine proteases.
