Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including heparin binding activity; lipopolysaccharide binding activity; and membrane destabilizing activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to symbiont; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cell surface and specific granule. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in endosome; extracellular space; and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in candidiasis; lung non-small cell carcinoma; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human LTF (lactotransferrin).

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.
