Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; patched binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in myelination; response to estradiol; and response to estrogen. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in 46,XY sex reversal and 46,XY sex reversal 7. Orthologous to human DHH (desert hedgehog signaling molecule). [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.
