Summary: Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation involved in prostate gland development; skeletal muscle tissue regeneration; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Predicted to be part of protein complex involved in cell-matrix adhesion and serine-type endopeptidase complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane.

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.
