SERPINA6
gene geneOn this page
Summary
SERPINA6 (serpin family A member 6, HGNC:1540) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q32.13, encoding Corticosteroid-binding globulin (P08185). Major transport protein for glucocorticoids and progestins in the blood of almost all vertebrate species.
This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors which may have evolved by duplication events.

- Data suggest that some individuals with adrenal insufficiency due to SERPINA6 mutations present with hypotension or nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, or chronic pain, but symptomatology varies widely, even between family members with identical mutations. [REVIEW] (PMID:29194043)
- N-glycans at other sites also appear to protect CBG from neutrophil elastase or chymotrypsin. (PMID:29273683)
- We generated weighted polygenic risk score (PRS) based on 6 genome-wide significant SNPs (rs11621961, rs11629171, rs7161521, rs2749527, rs3762132, rs4900229). salivary cortisol increased in the high PRS group. It remained unchanged in low PRS group. These results were mainly driven by minor alleles of rs7161521 (SERPINA6) and rs4900229 (SERPINA1). (PMID:29679879)
- Low circulating haCBG concentrations are associated with mortality in septic shock (PMID:30160799)

Corticosteroid-binding globulin — P08185 (reviewed: P08185)
Alternative names: Serpin A6, Transcortin
All UniProt accessions (3): P08185, G3V350, G3V4V7
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Major transport protein for glucocorticoids and progestins in the blood of almost all vertebrate species.
Subcellular location. Secreted.
Tissue specificity. Plasma; synthesized in liver. Has also been identified in a number of glycocorticoid responsive cells.
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated; binds 5 oligosaccharide chains. Glycosylation in position Asn-260 is needed for steroid binding.
Disease relevance. Corticosteroid-binding globulin deficiency (CBG deficiency) [MIM:611489] Extremely rare hereditary disorder characterized by reduced corticosteroid-binding capacity with normal or low plasma corticosteroid-binding globulin concentration, and normal or low basal cortisol levels associated with hypo/hypertension and muscle fatigue. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. Proteolytic cleavage leads to an important conformation change. This reduces the affinity for steroids.
Similarity. Belongs to the serpin family.
