The protein is a serine protease inhibitor that functions in the extracellular space. SERPINE3 is not currently associated with any known human genetic diseases, and the gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0, LOEUF >1), suggesting it may be tolerant to genetic variation.

This gene has evidence for multiple mechanisms of pathogenicity (dominant-negative and gain-of-function). Both the Badonyi & Marsh prediction and the broader genomic evidence point to dominant-negative as the predominant mechanism. Different variants in this gene may act through different mechanisms — interpret in context of the specific variant.

GOFprediction above median

Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
