Ahsg Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable endopeptidase inhibitor activity and receptor signaling protein tyrosine kinase inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of bone mineralization. Acts upstream of or within ossification. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; collagen-containing extracellular matrix; and extracellular space. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; heart; limb segment; reproductive system; and skeletal musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alopecia-mental retardation syndrome 1; coronary artery disease; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AHSG (alpha 2-HS glycoprotein).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ahsg often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
