Summary: Predicted to enable semaphorin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; regulation of GTPase activity; and regulation of cell shape. Predicted to act upstream of or within dichotomous subdivision of terminal units involved in salivary gland branching; neuron projection morphogenesis; and regulation of smooth muscle cell migration. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. [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.
