Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including complement component C1q complex binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and virion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including modulation by host of viral process; negative regulation of monocyte differentiation; and negative regulation of viral entry into host cell. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyloidosis. Orthologous to human APCS (amyloid P component, serum).
