Summary: Predicted to enable nerve growth factor receptor binding activity; peptidase regulator activity; and signaling receptor activator activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; nervous system development; and positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-binding transcription factor activity; positive regulation of neurotrophin TRK receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of protein autophosphorylation. Located in extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including bladder neck obstruction; bone disease (multiple); middle cerebral artery infarction; neurogenic bladder; and overactive bladder syndrome. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcohol dependence; alcohol use disorder; borna disease; cryptorchidism; and hyperhomocysteinemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including IgA glomerulonephritis; end stage renal disease; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 5; interstitial cystitis; and opiate dependence (multiple). Orthologous to human NGF (nerve growth factor). [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.
