Summary: Enables cytokine binding activity and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ regeneration; negative regulation of muscle cell apoptotic process; and neuron projection morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteochondrodysplasia. Orthologous to human LIFR (LIF receptor subunit alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
