Serine protease inhibitors

Serine protease inhibitors are molecules that regulate enzymes called serine proteases, which are responsible for breaking down proteins in the body. By blocking these enzymes, inhibitors help control processes like inflammation, blood clotting, and immune responses. They are vital for maintaining health and preventing excessive tissue damage. Some natural inhibitors are produced by the body, while others are used as medicines to treat conditions such as bleeding disorders, infections, or diseases involving inflammation. These inhibitors ensure that protein digestion and other serine protease activities occur in a balanced and controlled manner.
