Afp - alpha-fetoprotein Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
Summary
Predicted to enable fatty acid binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to retinoic acid; liver regeneration; and response to dexamethasone. Located in cytosol and extracellular space. Biomarker of hepatitis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hepatitis C. Orthologous to human AFP (alpha fetoprotein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
