peptidase inhibitor complex

Definition

Target type: cellularcomponent

A protein complex which is capable of peptidase inhibitor activity. [GO_REF:0000088, GOC:bhm, GOC:TermGenie, PMID:20860624]

A peptidase inhibitor complex is a molecular assembly comprised of one or more peptidase inhibitor proteins bound to their target peptidase(s). These complexes play a crucial role in regulating cellular processes by controlling the activity of peptidases, enzymes responsible for breaking down proteins. The cellular component of a peptidase inhibitor complex can vary depending on the specific inhibitors and peptidases involved, but generally includes:

* **The peptidase itself**: This is the enzyme that the inhibitor binds to and prevents from functioning. Peptidases are found in various cellular compartments, including the cytoplasm, nucleus, lysosomes, and extracellular matrix.
* **The inhibitor protein(s)**: These proteins are responsible for binding to the peptidase and blocking its activity. Inhibitor proteins can be located in the cytoplasm, nucleus, or secreted outside the cell.
* **Other associated proteins**: In some cases, other proteins may be associated with the peptidase inhibitor complex, acting as scaffolding or regulatory components. These proteins can be found in various cellular compartments depending on their specific functions.

The location and composition of the peptidase inhibitor complex within the cell are crucial for its function. For instance, inhibitors located in the cytoplasm can regulate the activity of intracellular peptidases, while inhibitors secreted outside the cell can control the activity of extracellular peptidases. The precise cellular location and composition of the peptidase inhibitor complex are determined by the specific peptidase and inhibitor involved, as well as the cellular context in which they interact.'
