Alpha 1 Fetoprotein is a major plasma protein produced by the yolk sac and the liver during fetal life. Alpha fetoprotein expression in adults is often associated with hepatoma or teratoma. However, hereditary persistance of alpha-fetoprotein may also be found in individuals with no obvious pathology. The protein is thought to be the fetal counterpart of serum albumin, and the alpha fetoprotein and albumin genes are present in tandem in the same transcriptional orientation on chromosome 4. A

This gene is a member of the caudal-related homeobox transcription factor gene family. The encoded protein is a major regulator of intestine-specific genes involved in cell growth an differentiation. This protein also plays a role in early embryonic development of the intestinal tract. Aberrant expression of this gene is associated with intestinal inflammation and tumorigenesis.

The human cartilage link protein, also designated HAPLN1, is a member of the hyaluronan and proteoglycan link protein (HAPLN) family of proteins. This family contains 4 proteins with approximately 50% homology. The human cartilage link protein strengthens tissue architecture by using hyaluronic acid to stabilize the aggregates of proteoglycan monomers inside the extracellular cartilage matrix. It is widely expressed in most tissue types except brain tissue where, much like the other human cart
