Summary: Predicted to enable potassium channel activity. Predicted to be involved in regulation of release of sequestered calcium ion into cytosol. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to caffeine; monoatomic cation transmembrane transport; and regulation of cardiac muscle contraction by regulation of the release of sequestered calcium ion. Located in extracellular exosome. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
