Gene Symbol:

AHSG Homo sapiens

Full name:

alpha 2-HS glycoprotein

Synonyms:

A2HS, AHS, FETUA, HSGA, alpha-2-HS-glycoprotein, alpha-2-Z-globulin, ba-alpha-2-glycoprotein, fetuin-A

Genomic Location:

Chr 3: 187813544-187821801

Description:

The protein encoded by this gene is a negatively-charged serum glycoprotein that is synthesized by hepatocytes. The encoded protein consists of two polypeptide chains, which are both cleaved from a proprotein encoded from a single mRNA. It is involved in several processes, including endocytosis, brain development, and the formation of bone tissue. ...

The protein encoded by this gene is a negatively-charged serum glycoprotein that is synthesized by hepatocytes. The encoded protein consists of two polypeptide chains, which are both cleaved from a proprotein encoded from a single mRNA. It is involved in several processes, including endocytosis, brain development, and the formation of bone tissue. Defects in this gene are a cause of susceptibility to leanness.
