Summary: Predicted to enable dystroglycan binding activity; epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in digestive tract morphogenesis; mucus secretion; and positive regulation of developmental growth. Acts upstream of or within inflammatory response and lung goblet cell differentiation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; genitourinary system; gut; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human AGR2 (anterior gradient 2, protein disulphide isomerase family member). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
