Also known as: ma; Matt; 2310042N02Rik; 2310074C17Rik
Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial cell maturation; establishment of skin barrier; and positive regulation of epidermis development. Acts upstream of or within cornification; cuticle development; and hair follicle morphogenesis. Located in lysosomal membrane and trans-Golgi network membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; genitourinary system; naris; skin; and thymus. Used to study atopic dermatitis. Orthologous to human TMEM79 (transmembrane protein 79).

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.
