Description
Serine protease inhibitor which is required for pupal viability and plays an essential role in regulating the melanization reaction (PubMed:18801354, PubMed:22227521). Inhibits spontaneous melanization and appears to be involved in the melanization immune response to physical wounding in larvae and adults (PubMed:18801354, PubMed:22227521). Acts by negatively regulating the Hayan-phenoloxidase (PPO1) cascade in the hemolymph and possibly the trachea (PubMed:18801354, PubMed:22227521). May function by controlling the initial release of the activated form of PPO1, phenoloxidase (PO) and thus maintains PO availability for processes such as wound response and pigmentation (PubMed:18801354).
