Summary: Predicted to enable EP4 subtype prostaglandin E2 receptor binding activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in positive regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of MAP kinase activity and negative regulation of inflammatory response. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and spleen. Orthologous to human FEM1A (fem-1 homolog A).

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.
