Summary
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity and translation repressor activity. Predicted to be involved in nuclear-transcribed mRNA poly(A) tail shortening. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of translation. Located in synapse. Is expressed in cerebral cortex and telencephalon. Orthologous to human SAMD4A (sterile alpha motif domain containing 4A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

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.
