Summary: Predicted to enable CCR2 chemokine receptor binding activity; heparin binding activity; and lipopolysaccharide binding activity. Predicted to be involved in defense response to bacterium and innate immune response. Predicted to be located in membrane; microvesicle; and nucleus. Orthologous to human DEFB106A (defensin beta 106A) and DEFB106B (defensin beta 106B). [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.
