Enables several functions, including fatty acid binding activity; modified amino acid binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of circadian sleep/wake cycle, non-REM sleep; response to biphenyl; and response to platinum ion. Located in basement membrane and extracellular space. Used to study familial hyperlipidemia. Biomarker of Reye syndrome; obstructive jaundice; and protein-energy malnutrition. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including blood protein disease; hepatobiliary system cancer (multiple); hyperthyroxinemia; middle cerebral artery infarction; and psoriasis. Orthologous to human ALB (albumin).
