Summary: Predicted to enable growth factor binding activity; molecular function activator activity; and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including lens fiber cell morphogenesis; mammary gland epithelium development; and osteoclast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel morphogenesis; nervous system development; and notochord development. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; central nervous system; endometrium; and limb. Used to study cataract 6 multiple types. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract 6 multiple types. Orthologous to human EPHA2 (EPH receptor A2). [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.
