Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of NMDA glutamate receptor activity; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including extracellular space; neuron projection; and perikaryon. Used to study several diseases, including Chagas disease; allergic conjunctivitis; allergic rhinitis; renal fibrosis; and ureteral obstruction. Biomarker of several diseases, including abdominal aortic aneurysm; autoimmune thyroiditis; pulpitis; tongue squamous cell carcinoma; and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including ataxia telangiectasia; autoimmune disease (multiple); eczema herpeticum; factor VIII deficiency; and leukemia (multiple). Orthologous to human IFNG (interferon gamma). [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.
