Summary: Predicted to enable peroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in defense response to bacterium. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to nematode; eosinophil migration; and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human EPX (eosinophil peroxidase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

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.
