这个基因编码一种γ-羧基谷氨酸（gla）蛋白，这种蛋白被认为与细胞增殖的刺激有关。这种基因在许多癌症中经常过度表达，并被认为是一种不利的预后标志物。蛋白质水平升高还与多种疾病状态有关，包括静脉血栓栓塞疾病、系统性红斑狼疮、慢性肾功能衰竭和先兆子痫。
This gene encodes a gamma-carboxyglutamic acid (Gla)-containing protein thought to be involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation. This gene is frequently overexpressed in many cancers and has been implicated as an adverse prognostic marker. Elevated protein levels are additionally associated with a variety of disease states, including venous thromboembolic disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, chronic renal failure, and preeclampsia.
