Summary: Enables several functions, including cytokine activity; identical protein binding activity; and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; microglial cell activation; and negative regulation of metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cell junction; cytoplasm; and nuclear speck. Used to study middle cerebral artery infarction and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of kidney failure; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; periodontitis; and pulmonary hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in transient cerebral ischemia. Orthologous to human NAMPT (nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
Expression: Biased expression in Muscle (RPKM 673.5), Heart (RPKM 463.7) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
