Thbd - thrombomodulin

Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in response to X-ray; response to cAMP; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in apicolateral plasma membrane; extracellular space; and vacuolar membrane. Used to study acute kidney failure. Biomarker of adult respiratory distress syndrome; hypertension; ischemia; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acute kidney failure; atypical hemolytic-uremic syndrome; cerebrovascular disease (multiple); rheumatoid arthritis; and thrombophilia (multiple). Orthologous to human THBD (thrombomodulin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
