    Summary
    Predicted to enable lipopolysaccharide binding activity and membrane destabilizing activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; killing of cells of another organism; and negative regulation of lipopolysaccharide-mediated signaling pathway. Is expressed in forelimb bud. Orthologous to human DEFB118 (defensin beta 118). [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.
