Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to vitamin D; negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation; and skeletal muscle atrophy. Located in cell surface and extracellular space. Used to study pancreatitis. Biomarker of listeriosis and periodontal disease.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
