Summary: Predicted to enable antigen binding activity; carbohydrate derivative binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including complement activation, lectin pathway; elastic fiber assembly; and response to UV. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell adhesion. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system mesenchyme; and visceral pericardium. Orthologous to human MFAP4 (microfibril associated protein 4). [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.
