THBD thrombomodulin

Gene ID: 7056, updated on 29-Jul-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TM; THRM; AHUS6; BDCA3; CD141; BDCA-3; THPH12

Summary

The protein encoded by this intronless gene is an endothelial-specific type I membrane receptor that binds thrombin. This binding results in the activation of protein C, which degrades clotting factors Va and VIIIa and reduces the amount of thrombin generated. Mutations in this gene are a cause of thromboembolic disease, also known as inherited thrombophilia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
