Summaries for Fetuin-B (FetuinB)

Entrez Gene summary for FETUB:

The protein encoded by this FETUB gene is a member of the fetuin family, part of the cystatin superfamily of cysteine protease inhibitors. Fetuins have been implicated in several diverse functions, including osteogenesis and bone resorption, regulation of the insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors, and response to systemic inflammation. Fetuin-B may be secreted by cells. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

OMIM - description for Fetuin-B:

The fetuin family, which includes FETUB, is part of the cystatin superfamily and encompasses a series of tightly related proteins that are synthesized mostly in the liver. Fetuins have been implicated in several diverse functions, including osteogenesis and bone resorption, regulation of the insulin and hepatocyte growth factor receptors (147670 and 164860, respectively), and response to systemic inflammation (summary by Olivier et al., 2000).

Wikipedia summary for Fetuin-B:
