Description
ITIH3 (Inter-Alpha-Trypsin Inhibitor Heavy Chain 3) is a Protein Coding gene. This gene encodes the heavy chain subunit of the pre-alpha-trypsin inhibitor complex. This complex may stabilize the extracellular matrix through its ability to bind hyaluronic acid. ITIH3 is involved in the stabilization of the extracellular matrix. A polymorphism (rs2535629) of ITIH3 showed the strongest association signal with susceptibility to psychiatric disorders in Caucasian populations. Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in or near the inter-alpha-trypsin inhibitor heavy chain H3 (ITIH3) gene have been repeatedly associated with schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders in genome-wide association studies.ITIH3 may be a useful biomarker for the early detection of gastric cancer. Diseases associated with ITIH3 include Schizophrenia and Major Depressive Disorder.
