Summary: Enables inorganic diphosphate transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cementum mineralization; diphosphate metabolic process; and inhibition of non-skeletal tissue mineralization. Located in plasma membrane. Is active in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including bone; connective tissue; olfactory epithelium; telencephalon; and vibrissa follicle. Used to study craniometaphyseal dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant craniometaphyseal dysplasia and chondrocalcinosis. Orthologous to human ANKH (ANKH inorganic pyrophosphate transport regulator). [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.
