    Summary
    Predicted to enable BMP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in embryonic skeletal system development and negative regulation of SMAD protein signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix. Orthologous to human UCMA (upper zone of growth plate and cartilage matrix associated). [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.
