Also known as: gdf16; BMP-13
Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and transforming growth factor beta receptor superfamily signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on cell migration involved in metanephros development and epithelial cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of neuron differentiation. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Leber congenital amaurosis 17; bone disease (multiple); cleft lip; cleft palate; and isolated microphthalmia 4. Orthologous to human GDF6 (growth differentiation factor 6). [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.
