Summary: Enables several functions, including fatty acid binding activity; modified amino acid binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep; response to biphenyl; and response to platinum ion. Located in basement membrane and extracellular space. Used to study familial hyperlipidemia. Biomarker of Reye syndrome; obstructive jaundice; and protein-energy malnutrition. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including blood protein disease; hepatobiliary system cancer (multiple); hyperthyroxinemia; middle cerebral artery infarction; and psoriasis. Orthologous to human ALB (albumin). [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.
