    Summary
    Enables several functions, including Hsp90 protein binding activity; beta-catenin binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; response to bacterium; and response to hexose. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to cytokine stimulus and cellular response to organic cyclic compound. Located in several cellular components, including extracellular space; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and peroxisome. Used to study several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; diabetic angiopathy; pleurisy; renal hypertension; and toxic shock syndrome. Biomarker of several diseases, including acute necrotizing pancreatitis; artery disease (multiple); inflammatory bowel disease (multiple); liver disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including dementia (multiple); hypertension (multiple); malaria; pulmonary tuberculosis; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human NOS2 (nitric oxide synthase 2). [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.
