Gene information for HRG (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3273
Official gene symbolHRG
Full namehistidine-rich glycoprotein
Aliases,DKFZp779H1622,HPRG,HRGP,
Gene summaryThis histidine-rich glycoprotein contains two cystatin-like domains and is located in plasma and platelets. The physiological function has not been determined but it is known that the protein binds heme, dyes and divalent metal ions. It can inhibit rosette formation and interacts with heparin, thrombospondin and plasminogen. Two of the protein's effects, the inhibition of fibrinolysis and the reduction of inhibition of coagulation, indicate a potential prothrombotic effect. Mutations in this gene lead to thrombophilia due to abnormal histidine-rich glycoprotein levels. [provided by RefSeq]
