Summary
Predicted to enable receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity and transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; regulation of angiogenesis; and regulation of blood vessel endothelial cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway. Predicted to be active in collagen-containing extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Orthologous to human ANGPT4 (angiopoietin 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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.
