| Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 16427 |
| 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. Predicted to be involved in acute-phase response; hyaluronan metabolic process; and response to cytokine. Located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; intestine; liver; lung; and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intermediate coronary syndrome and myocardial infarction. Orthologous to human ITIH4 (inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and overtly normal. Surprisingly, IL-6/STAT3 signaling is significantly suppressed in mutant liver tissues but hepatocytes remain well differentiated. [provided by MGI curators] |
