Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including cell adhesion molecule binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and structural molecule activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including blood coagulation; negative regulation of apoptotic process; and positive regulation of secretion by cell. Predicted to act upstream of or within adaptive immune response; blood coagulation; and innate immune response. Located in cell cortex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; chondrocranium; jaw; nephron; and notochord. Used to study congenital afibrinogenemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain small vessel disease; congenital afibrinogenemia; and multiple myeloma. Orthologous to human FGG (fibrinogen gamma chain).
