Gene: AHSG
Alternate names for this Gene: A2HS|AHS|APMR1|FETUA|HSGA
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a negatively-charged serum glycoprotein that is synthesized by hepatocytes. The encoded protein consists of two polypeptide chains, which are both cleaved from a proprotein encoded from a single mRNA. It is involved in several processes, including endocytosis, brain development, and the formation of bone tissue. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to leanness.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3q27.3
Description of this Gene: alpha 2-HS glycoprotein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
