Alpha(1)microglobulin/bikunin precursor specifically interacts with the ORF3 protein of hepatitis E virus and has a direct role in enhancing alpha(1)microglobulin export from the hepatocyte. Bikunin has a role in downregulating PI3 kinase and suppressing tumor invasiveness and metastasis in ovaran cancer cells. I-alpha-I plasma protease inhibitors are assembled from one or two heavy chains (H1, H2 or H3) and one light chain, bikunin. Inter-alpha-inhibitor (I-alpha-I) is composed of H1, H2 and bikunin, inter-alpha-like inhibitor (I-alpha-LI) of H2 and bikunin, and pre-alpha-inhibitor (P-alpha-I) of H3 and bikunin.
