    Summary
    Predicted to be involved in signal transduction and substantia nigra development. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; negative regulation of vascular associated smooth muscle cell proliferation; and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human NDRG2 (NDRG family member 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.
