ANISERP: a new serpin from the parasite Anisakis simplex . Parasites Vectors 8, 399 (2015). https://doi.org/10.1186/s13071-015-1006-z1756-3305http://hdl.handle.net/10347/21698Serine proteinase inhibitors (serpins) finely regulate serine proteinase activity via a suicide substrate-like inhibitory mechanism. In parasitic nematodes, some serpins interact with host physiological processes; however, little is known about these essential molecules in Anisakis. This article reports the gene sequencing, cloning, expression and preliminary biochemical and bioinformatically-based structural characterization of a new Anisakis serpin (ANISERP)eng© 2015 Valdivieso et al.
