Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable copper ion binding activity and oxidoreductase activity. Predicted to be involved in blood coagulation, intrinsic pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within acute-phase response and blood coagulation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and liver and biliary system. Used to study factor VIII deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in factor VIII deficiency. Orthologous to human F8 (coagulation factor VIII).
