Summary: Predicted to enable complement component C1q complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in complement activation and positive regulation of apoptotic cell clearance. Located in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Graves' disease; complement component 4a deficiency; renal cell carcinoma; systemic lupus erythematosus; and vitiligo. Orthologous to several human genes including C4A (complement C4A (Chido/Rodgers blood group)). [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.
