Description

SERPINH1 (serpin family H member 1) encodes a 47 kDa heat shock protein (HSP47) localized in the endoplasmic reticulum. It functions as a collagen-specific molecular chaperone, binding to procollagen chains and facilitating proper triple-helix formation, folding, and secretion. Loss-of-function mutations impair collagen maturation and lead to connective tissue disorders.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Osteogenesis Imperfecta Type X Loss-of-function mutations in SERPINH1 disrupt collagen chaperone activity, causing defective collagen folding and severe bone fragility. OMIM #613848; ClinVar; NCBI
Bruck Syndrome (rare) Similar collagen misfolding due to SERPINH1 deficiency, leading to joint contractures and bone fragility. OMIM; literature review

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.233C>T (p.Pro78Leu) Missense Rare Disrupts collagen binding; associated with OI type X

Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Most SERPINH1 mutations are loss-of-function, leading to reduced or absent HSP47 protein, defective collagen folding, and osteogenesis imperfecta.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No gain-of-function mutations reported.

Dominant Negative (DN)

Not described; inheritance is autosomal recessive.

Gene Ontology (GO)

• collagen binding • serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity
• protein folding chaperone • endoplasmic reticulum lumen
• collagen biosynthetic process • response to unfolded protein

Pathways

Protein Summary

HSP47 is a 418-amino acid glycoprotein (47 kDa) localized to the endoplasmic reticulum. It binds specifically to procollagen chains, preventing premature aggregation and ensuring correct triple-helix formation. It is essential for collagen secretion and extracellular matrix integrity.
