SERPINA1 and COVID-19: The paired serine protease–serpin in the framework of heparin that we review includes the following: thrombin–antithrombin III, plasmin–anti-plasmin, C1 esterase/kallikrein–C1 esterase inhibitor, and furin/TMPRSS2 (serine protease Transmembrane Protease 2)–alpha-1-antitrypsin, with the latter in the context of COVID-19 and prostate cancer.
