Gene: AMBP

Alternate names for this Gene: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9q32

Description of this Gene: alpha-1-microglobulin/bikunin precursor

Type of Gene: protein-coding
