Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent. Acts upstream of or within neurogenesis and response to axon injury. Located in basement membrane. Part of matrilin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; chondrocranium; forelimb; genitourinary system; and spinal cord meninges. Orthologous to human MATN2 (matrilin 2). [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.
