Summary: Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase inhibitor activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in sarcomere. Predicted to be active in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricular layer; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; musculature; and ventral grey horn. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephroblastoma. Orthologous to human TIMP4 (TIMP metallopeptidase inhibitor 4). [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.
