Summary: Predicted to enable protein-macromolecule adaptor activity and structural molecule activity. Predicted to contribute to cell adhesion molecule binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; liver regeneration; and response to cycloheximide. Located in blood microparticle. Used to study asthma; brain ischemia; disseminated intravascular coagulation; and thrombocytopenia. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; disseminated intravascular coagulation; pancreatitis; pulmonary embolism; and pulmonary emphysema. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain small vessel disease; congenital afibrinogenemia; familial visceral amyloidosis; and thrombophilia. Orthologous to human FGA (fibrinogen alpha chain). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
