Summary: Predicted to enable platelet-derived growth factor binding activity. Predicted to be an extracellular matrix structural constituent conferring tensile strength. Involved in epithelial cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be part of collagen type IV trimer. Predicted to be active in basement membrane and extracellular space. Biomarker of obesity and pulmonary hypertension.

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.
