Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of biosynthetic process; positive regulation of leukocyte migration; and regulation of defense response. Located in extracellular space. Used to study anti-basement membrane glomerulonephritis; autoimmune thyroiditis; and pelvic inflammatory disease. Biomarker of several diseases, including cerebrovascular disease (multiple); interstitial lung disease (multiple); irritant dermatitis; primary biliary cholangitis; and rhinitis (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including asthma (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); hepatitis B; hepatitis C; and pancreatic cancer (multiple).

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.
