Summary
Predicted to enable cyclic-GMP-AMP transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including T cell homeostasis; negative regulation of T cell apoptotic process; and thymus development. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including foregut gland; hemolymphoid system; and skin. Orthologous to human SLC46A2 (solute carrier family 46 member 2).

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.
