    Summary
    Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in stress granule assembly. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic stress granule. Is expressed in gut; motor neurons; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in late onset Parkinson's disease and spinocerebellar ataxia type 2. Orthologous to human ATXN2 (ataxin 2). [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.
