| Protein existence | Evidence at protein level |
General annotation (Comments)
| Function | Type II acute-phase protein (APP) involved in inflammatory responses to trauma. May also play a role in liver development or regeneration. Ref.14 |
| Subunit structure | Interacts (via C-terminus) with DNAJC1 (via SANT 2 domain); this interaction protects ITIH4 against cleavage by kallikrein in vitro. Ref.5 |
| Subcellular location | |
| Tissue specificity | |
| Induction | Levels increase from 1.4 to 3-fold in acute-phase processes such as in acute ischemia stroke (AIS), unstable angina and programmed surgery. In hepatocytes, induced by IL6 but not by other cytokines such as IL1B. Ref.10 Ref.14 |
| Post-translational modification | Cleaved by plasma kallikrein to yield 100 kDa and 35 kDa fragments, and the resulting 100 kDa fragment is further converted to a 70 kDa fragment. N- and O-glycosylated. In urine, O-linked glycosylation on threonine residues in the region from Thr-719 to Thr-725 consists of core 1 or possibly core 8 glycans. Mainly Hex(HexNAc)2, but also some Hex3(HexNAc)3. N-glycosylated but not O-glycosylated in plasma. Ref.8 Ref.11 Ref.18 |
| Miscellaneous | Possible biomarker for acute ischemic stroke (Ref.14). Peptides derived from the proline-rich potentially active peptide (PRO_0000016542) may be biomarkers for a variety of disease states including breast cancer (Ref.16). |
| Sequence similarities | Belongs to the ITIH family. Contains 1 VIT domain. Contains 1 VWFA domain. |
