Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein-folding chaperone binding activity and structural molecule activity. Predicted to contribute to cell adhesion molecule binding activity and signaling receptor binding 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; hemostasis; and innate immune response. Located in cell cortex. Is active in synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; liver; lung; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cardiovascular system disease (multiple); congenital afibrinogenemia; and end stage renal disease. Orthologous to human FGB (fibrinogen beta chain).
