ITIH6 inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain family member 6

Gene ID: 347365, updated on 14-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ITIH5L; UNQ6369; dJ14O9.1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the interalpha trypsin inhibitor heavy chain (ITIH) family. Interalpha trypsin inhibitor (ITI) is composed of two heavy chains (containing VWA domain) and one light chain. The light chain confers the protease-inhibitor function, while the heavy chains are involved in mediating protein-protein interactions with the components of the extracellular matrix.
