Gene information for CPAMD8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID27151
Official gene symbolCPAMD8
Full nameC3 and PZP-like, alpha-2-macroglobulin domain containing 8
Aliases,FLJ42058,FLJ90618,K-CAP,KIAA1283,VIP,
Gene summaryCPAMD8 belongs to the complement component-3 (C3; MIM 120700)/alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M; MIM 103950) family of proteins, which are involved in innate immunity and damage control. Complement components recognize and eliminate pathogens by direct binding or by mediating opsonization/phagocytosis and intracellular killing, and A2M is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor (Li et al., 2004 [PubMed 15177561]).[supplied by OMIM]
