  ID: ITIH4_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4; Short=ITI heavy chain H4; Short=ITI-HC4; Short=Inter-alpha-inhibitor heavy chain 4; AltName: Full=Inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor family heavy chain-related protein; Short=IHRP; AltName: Full=Plasma kallikrein sensitive glycoprotein 120; Short=Gp120; Short=PK-120; Contains: RecName: Full=70 kDa inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4; Contains: RecName: Full=35 kDa inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H4; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: May be involved in acute phase reactions.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Liver specific.
INDUCTION: Levels increase significantly in the sera of patients after different surgical trauma.
PTM: Cleaved by plasma kallikrein to yield 100 kDa and 35 kDa fragments, and the resulting 100 kDa fragment is further converted to a 70 kDa fragment.
PTM: Appears to be both N- and O-glycosylated. The O-linked polysaccharides on Ser-696, Thr-701 and Ser-702 are probably the mucin type linked to GalNAc. O-linked glycosylations in the region AA 719-725 consist of core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the ITIH family.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 VIT domain.
SIMILARITY: Contains 1 VWFA domain.

-  Primer design for this transcript
 

Primer3Plus can design qPCR Primers that straddle exon-exon-junctions, which amplify only cDNA, not genomic DNA.
Click here to load the transcript sequence and exon structure into Primer3Plus

Exonprimer can design one pair of Sanger sequencing primers around every exon, located in non-genic sequence.

ModBase Predicted Comparative 3D Structure on Q14624
FrontTopSide
The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
