    Summary
    Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in acute-phase response and response to cytokine. Located in extracellular space. Biomarker of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and obesity. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
