Disease
[SPIT2_HUMAN] Congenital sodium diarrhea. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[SPIT2_HUMAN] Inhibitor of HGF activator. Also inhibits plasmin, plasma and tissue kallikrein, and factor XIa. [TRY3_HUMAN] Digestive protease specialized for the degradation of trypsin inhibitors. In the ileum, may be involved in defensin processing, including DEFA5.[1] [2]
