SERPINA6 serpin family A member 6

Gene ID: 866, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CBG

Summary

This gene encodes an alpha-globulin protein with corticosteroid-binding properties. This is the major transport protein for glucorticoids and progestins in the blood of most vertebrates. The gene localizes to a chromosomal region containing several closely related serine protease inhibitors which may have evolved by duplication events. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
