Summary: Enables apolipoprotein binding activity; lipoprotein particle binding activity; and low-density lipoprotein particle receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; liver development; and regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including low-density lipoprotein receptor particle metabolic process; regulation of low-density lipoprotein particle receptor catabolic process; and triglyceride metabolic process. Located in COPII-coated ER to Golgi transport vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cerebellum; genitourinary system; liver; and telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hypercholesterolemia and hypobetalipoproteinemia. Orthologous to human PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9).

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.
