Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including platelet-derived growth factor binding activity; protein dimerization activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in digestive tract development; embryonic lung development; and lung alveolus development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hair follicle development; positive regulation of mesenchymal cell proliferation; and regulation of branching involved in salivary gland morphogenesis by epithelial-mesenchymal signaling. Located in extracellular space and microvillus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Orthologous to human PDGFA (platelet derived growth factor subunit A). [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.
