Summary: Enables fibronectin binding activity and growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of G0 to G1 transition; positive regulation of cardiac muscle contraction; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in cell cortex; extracellular space; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study endomyocardial fibrosis and liver cirrhosis. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); lung disease (multiple); membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; restrictive cardiomyopathy (multiple); and ureteral obstruction. Orthologous to human CCN2 (cellular communication network factor 2). [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.
