This secreted protein hydrolyzes phosphatidylserine in liposomes. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011] Expression Broad expression in liver (RPKM 8.5), lymph node (RPKM 6.1) and 17 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
