Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor binding activity; growth factor binding activity; and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor activity. Predicted to contribute to ciliary neurotrophic factor receptor activity and oncostatin-M receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and immune system. Used to study CAKUT. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteochondrodysplasia. Orthologous to human LIFR (LIF receptor subunit alpha). [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.
