Summary: Predicted to enable heme binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of immune effector process; positive regulation of type II interferon-mediated signaling pathway; and positive regulation of tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT protein. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in brain; embryo; liver; liver left lobe; and liver right lobe. Orthologous to human HPX (hemopexin).

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.
