Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cardiac muscle hypertrophy; positive regulation of receptor recycling; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in early endosome; external side of plasma membrane; and secretory granule. Used to study acute kidney failure; congestive heart failure; hyperhomocysteinemia; hypertension; and pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; congestive heart failure; hypertension; nephrotic syndrome; and renal fibrosis.

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.
