See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000019689 AllianceGenome:RGD:621759
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; integrin binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; liver regeneration; and response to L-ascorbic acid. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Used to study transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of hypertension; mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis; myocardial infarction; pulmonary fibrosis; and type 1 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Behcet's disease; Bernard-Soulier syndrome; end stage renal disease; essential thrombocythemia; and von Willebrand's disease (multiple). Orthologous to human VWF (von Willebrand factor). [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.
