Summary: Enables heparin binding activity. Involved in gonadotrophin-releasing hormone neuronal migration to the hypothalamus; response to ischemia; and vascular wound healing. Acts upstream of or within extracellular matrix organization and positive regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Located in extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; embryo mesenchyme; intervertebral disc; lung; and molar. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism. Orthologous to human NDNF (neuron derived neurotrophic factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in lung adult (RPKM 5.4), frontal lobe adult (RPKM 2.2) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
