Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 20714 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within response to cytokine and response to peptide hormone. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in axial skeleton; liver; nervous system; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; cystic fibrosis; and vasculitis. Orthologous to human SERPINA3 (serpin family A member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and show decreased susceptibility to kidney reperfusion injury [provided by MGI curators] |
