Summary
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and submandibular gland. Orthologous to human RBM26 (RNA binding motif protein 26). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
