Itih2 - inter-alpha trypsin inhibitor, heavy chain 2

Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in hyaluronan metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of peptidase activity. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in germ cell of testis; gut; liver; and meninges. Orthologous to human ITIH2 (inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
