Summary: This gene encodes a liver vitamin K-dependent glycoprotein that is synthesized in the liver and secreted into the plasma. The encoded protein plays a role in regulating blood coagulation by complexing with protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor to directly inhibit activated factor X at the phospholipid surface. Deficiencies in this protein are associated with an increased risk of ischemic arterial diseases and fetal loss. Mutations in this gene are the cause of protein Z deficiency. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2012]

Data suggest oxidized lipid vesicles with phosphatidylserine/polyunsaturated fatty acids promote inactivation of ZPI-PZ complex or free ZPI; binding of PZ-complexed or free ZPI to oxidized vesicles mediates inactivation of ZPI (an inhibitor of FXa); blocking heparin- (anticoagulant-)binding site on ZPI interferes with binding to lipid or PZ. (ZPI = protein Z-dependent protease inhibitor; PZ = protein Z; FXa = factor Xa)

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.
