    Summary
    Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity and histone deacetylase binding activity. Involved in regulation of mitotic cell cycle. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; aorta; brain; genitourinary system; and liver. Orthologous to human BEX4 (brain expressed X-linked 4).

    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.
