Is able to inhibit all four classes of proteinases by a unique 'trapping' mechanism. This protein has a peptide stretch, called the 'bait region' which contains specific cleavage sites for different proteinases. When a proteinase cleaves the bait region, a conformational change is induced in the protein which traps the proteinase.

Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) is a large circulating plasma protein that functions as a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor. This catalogue-backed target record links A2M nomenclature, identifiers, aliases and ABMIUM products.
Biological function: Alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M) inhibits multiple classes of proteases through a bait-region trapping mechanism. Protease cleavage induces a conformational change that encloses the enzyme; A2M also binds and transports a range of cytokines and growth factors.
