Description
Predicted to have cytokine activity and tumor necrosis factor receptor binding activity. Involved in liver development. Predicted to localize to extracellular space and integral component of membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune hypersensitivity disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and skin disease (multiple). Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; heart; integument; musculature system; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to several human genes including LTA (lymphotoxin alpha).
