Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable endopeptidase activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to contribute to serine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within blood coagulation. Predicted to be located in vesicle. Predicted to be part of serine-type peptidase complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cerebral infarction; diabetes mellitus (multiple); factor VII deficiency; and obesity. Orthologous to human F7 (coagulation factor VII).
