Summary
Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; immune response in nasopharyngeal-associated lymphoid tissue; and negative regulation of single-species biofilm formation in or on host organism. Located in microvillus. Orthologous to human BPIFA1 (BPI fold containing family A member 1). [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.
