Summary
Predicted to enable transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in cytokine-mediated signaling pathway; positive regulation of JNK cascade; and positive regulation of canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hair follicle development; positive regulation of non-canonical NF-kappaB signal transduction; and salivary gland cavitation. Predicted to be located in apical part of cell. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ectodermal dysplasia 10A and ectodermal dysplasia 10B. Orthologous to human EDAR (ectodysplasin A receptor). [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.
