Background
This gene encodes a key acute phase plasma protein. Because of its increase due to acute inflammation, this protein is classified as an acute-phase reactant. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined; however, it may be involved in aspects of immunosuppression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Appears to function in modulating the activity of the immune system during the acute-phase reaction.,induction:Synthesis is controlled by glucocorticoids, interleukin-1 and interleukin-6, It increases 5- to 50-fold upon inflammation.,polymorphism:Many different variants of ORM2 are known.,similarity:Belongs to the calycin superfamily. Lipocalin family.,tissue specificity:Expressed by the liver and secreted in plasma.,
