Summary
Predicted to enable RNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of sprouting of injured axon; regulation of gene expression; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Located in neuronal cell body. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Orthologous to human PUM2 (pumilio RNA binding family member 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 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.
