About Alb

Summary

Enables several functions, including fatty acid binding activity; modified amino acid binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep; response to mercury ion; and response to platinum ion. Located in basement membrane and extracellular space. Used to study familial hyperlipidemia. Biomarker of Reye syndrome; obstructive jaundice; and protein-energy malnutrition. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including biliary tract benign neoplasm; hepatobiliary system Cancer (multiple); hyperthyroxinemia; middle cerebral artery infarction; and psoriasis. Orthologous to human ALB (albumin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
