Summary
Predicted to enable DNA binding activity. Predicted to be involved in DNA replication initiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within DNA-templated DNA replication. Predicted to be located in fibrillar center and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of nuclear origin of replication recognition complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Meier-Gorlin syndrome 3. Orthologous to human ORC6 (origin recognition complex subunit 6). [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.
