Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; carbohydrate binding activity; and hyaluronic acid binding activity. Involved in synapse maturation. Acts upstream of or within hippocampus development. Located in perineuronal net. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; lower jaw; sensory organ; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in high grade glioma. Orthologous to human BCAN (brevican). [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.
