Gene information for AMBP (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database) |
Entrez gene ID | 259 |
Official gene symbol | AMBP |
Full name | alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor |
Aliases | ,A1M,EDC1,HCP,HI30,IATIL,ITI,ITIL,ITILC,UTI, |
Gene summary | This gene encodes a complex glycoprotein secreted in plasma. The precursor is proteolytically processed into distinct functioning proteins: alpha-1-microglobulin, which belongs to the superfamily of lipocalin transport proteins and may play a role in the regulation of inflammatory processes, and bikunin, which is a urinary trypsin inhibitor belonging to the superfamily of Kunitz-type protease inhibitors and plays an important role in many physiological and pathological processes. This gene is located on chromosome 9 in a cluster of lipocalin genes. [provided by RefSeq] |
