[HTML][HTML] Identification and sequence analysis of two new members of the SKALP/elafin and SPAI-2 gene family: biochemical properties of the transglutaminase …

The human epithelial proteinase inhibitor SKALP/elafin and the porcine sodium-potassium
ATPase inhibitor SPAI-2 are two highly homologous proteins that share an NH 2-terminal
transglutaminase substrate domain and a COOH-terminal whey acidic protein (WAP)
domain. Here we describe the bovine and simian orthologs of SKALP/elafin as well as two
new bovine family members that are designated Trappin-4 and Trappin-5 on the basis of a
new nomenclature that we propose (Trappin= TRansglutaminase substrate and WAPmotif …
