| Tissue Specificity | Retinal pigment epithelial cells and blood plasma. |
| Post Translational Modifications | The N-terminus is blocked. Extracellular phosphorylation enhances antiangiogenic activity. N- and O-glycosylated. O-glycosylated with a core 1 or possibly core 8 glycan. |
| Function | Neurotrophic protein.induces extensive neuronal differentiation in retinoblastoma cells. Potent inhibitor of angiogenesis. As it does not undergo the S (stressed) to R (relaxed) conformational transition characteristic of active serpins, it exhibits no serine protease inhibitory activity. |
