    Summary
    Enables protein phosphatase binding activity; protein tyrosine phosphatase activator activity; and sialic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including immune response-regulating signaling pathway; negative regulation of cytokine production; and negative regulation of monocyte activation. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; external side of plasma membrane; and peroxisome. [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.
