Summary
Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; growth factor binding activity; and myosin heavy chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi vesicle fusion to target membrane; positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane; and positive regulation of proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within Wnt signaling pathway and exocytosis. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane; exocytic vesicle; and lateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; nasal cavity epithelium; paraxial mesenchyme; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human NKD2 (NKD inhibitor of WNT signaling pathway 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
