Summary: Enables several functions, including amyloid-beta binding activity; aspartic-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity; and cupric ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; positive regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; regulation of potassium ion transmembrane transport; and response to oxidative stress. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; membrane raft; and terminal bouton. Colocalizes with dendrite. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and tooth. Used to study Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease; Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker syndrome; and fatal familial insomnia.

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.
