Serpins are a superfamily of functionally distinct but structurally conserved proteins. <ref>JBC Papers in Press. Published on July 2, 2001 as Manuscript R100016200 THE SERPINS ARE AN EXPANDING SUPERFAMILY OF
STRUCTURALLY SIMILAR BUT FUNCTIONALLY DIVERSE PROTEINShttp://www.jbc.org/content/early/2001/07/02/jbc.R100016200.full.pdf DOI : 2001/07/02/jbc.R100016200.full.pdf </ref>
SerpinB3 means serin protease inhibitor, clade B (ovalbumin), member 3. The particularity of Serpin B3 is to target proteases wich have a nucleophilic cysteine instead of serine in their catalytic site.

The most important part of Serpins is an exposed region of 20 amino acids near the C terminus named the reactive center loop (<scene name='60/604473/The_rcl_loop_scene/3'>RCL</scene>). The amino-acids of <scene name='60/604473/The_rcl_loop_scene/3'>RCL</scene> are very conservated for Serpin B3 and allow the specificity interaction of the inhibitor for the target protease<ref> PMID : PMC24842</ref>.
