Summary
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity and miRNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in activation of innate immune response and post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Predicted to act upstream of or within blastocyst formation; heart valve development; and ventricular septum development. Located in nuclear matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 21. Orthologous to human MATR3 (matrin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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.
