GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
CPAMD8 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
K-CAP, KIAA1283, VIP
Description
C3 and PZP-like, alpha-2-macroglobulin domain containing 8 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
CPAMD8 belongs to the complement component-3 (C3; MIM 120700)/alpha-2-macroglobulin (A2M; MIM 103950) family of proteins, which are involved in innate immunity and damage control. Complement components recognize and eliminate pathogens by direct binding or by mediating opsonization/phagocytosis and intracellular killing, and A2M is a broad-spectrum protease inhibitor (Li et al., 2004 [PubMed 15177561]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
