Summary
This gene encodes a heavy chain of inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor (IaI) family of plasma serine protease inhibitors. IaI proteins are protein-glycosaminoglycan-protein complexes comprised of two heavy chains and a light chain. The encoded protein covalently associates with the light chain via a chondroitin sulfate moiety. Intravenous administration of the encoded protein improved survival of mice after infection with Escherichia coli. This gene is located adjacent to two other IaI heavy chain genes. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms that may undergo similar proteolytic processing to generate mature protein. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2015]

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.

    Status: REVIEWED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the 5' coding region compared to variant 1. This variant encodes isoform 2, which is longer than isoform 1. This isoform (2) may undergo proteolytic processing similar to isoform 1.
