Summary: Enables gamma-glutamyl carboxylase activity and vitamin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including lung growth; peptidyl-glutamic acid carboxylation; and response to vitamin. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Biomarker of urolithiasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors 1. Orthologous to human GGCX (gamma-glutamyl carboxylase). [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.
