Gene: HTRA1
Alternate names for this Gene: ARMD7|CADASIL2|CARASIL|HtrA|L56|ORF480|PRSS11
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the trypsin family of serine proteases. This protein is a secreted enzyme that is proposed to regulate the availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by cleaving IGF-binding proteins. It has also been suggested to be a regulator of cell growth. Variations in the promoter region of this gene are the cause of susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration type 7.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 10
Location in Chromosome : 10q26.13
Description of this Gene: HtrA serine peptidase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
