Summary: Predicted to enable metalloendopeptidase activity; protein homodimerization activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in axonogenesis; embryonic heart tube development; and gene expression. Acts upstream of or within pharyngeal system development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic vesicle; external side of plasma membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and retina. Used to study double outlet right ventricle.

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.
