    Summary
    Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; cellular response to oxidised low-density lipoprotein particle stimulus; and negative regulation of dendritic cell antigen processing and presentation. Located in lysosome and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart blood vessel; liver; spleen; and tooth. Orthologous to human CD68 (CD68 molecule).

    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.
