Summary: Predicted to enable platelet-derived growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in angiogenesis. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on neural crest cell migration. Acts upstream of or within cardiac muscle progenitor cell migration to the midline involved in heart field formation. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural keel; chordo neural hinge; diencephalon; endoderm; and head. 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.
