Summary: Predicted to enable protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including glial cell activation; positive regulation of cellular component organization; and regulation of defense response. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blastocyst hatching; locomotory exploration behavior; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; lysosome; and trans-Golgi network. Is active in cerebellar climbing fiber to Purkinje cell synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; early conceptus; gonad; placenta; and skin. Used to study Grn-related frontotemporal lobar degeneration with Tdp43 inclusions and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dementia (multiple); neurodegenerative disease (multiple); neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 11; and primary progressive multiple sclerosis. Orthologous to human GRN (granulin precursor). [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.
