Summary | This gene encodes a member of the inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor (IaI) family of plasma serine protease inhibitors with diverse functions as anti-apoptotic and matrix stabilizing molecules during development. This gene is predominantly expressed in the liver and the encoded protein was found to be a plasma kallikrein-sensitive glycoprotein. This gene is located in a cluster of related inter alpha trypsin inhibitor genes on chromosome 14. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
