Summary: Predicted to enable polysaccharide binding activity and scavenger receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in immune response and vesicle-mediated transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within hematopoietic stem cell proliferation; negative regulation of interleukin-6 production; and regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space.

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.
