Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including UDP-galactosyltransferase activity; manganese ion binding activity; and tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid metabolic process; positive regulation of circulating fibrinogen levels; and protein N-linked glycosylation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; lactose biosynthetic process; and regulation of epithelial cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi trans cisterna; basolateral plasma membrane; and brush border membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex.

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.
