Gene nameITIH2
Protein nameInter-alpha (Globulin) inhibitor H2 (cDNA FLJ75038, highly similar to Homo sapiens inter-alpha (globulin) inhibitor H2 (ITIH2), mRNA)
Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 2
Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H2 (ITI heavy chain H2) (ITI-HC2) (Inter-alpha-inhibitor heavy chain 2) (Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor complex component II) (Serum-derived hyaluronan-associated protein) (SHAP)
SynonymshCG_25115
IGHEP2
DescriptionFUNCTION: May act as a carrier of hyaluronan in serum or as a binding protein between hyaluronan and other matrix protein, including those on cell surfaces in tissues to regulate the localization, synthesis and degradation of hyaluronan which are essential to cells undergoing biological processes.
