Summary
Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of supramolecular fiber organization; and regulation of phosphate metabolic process. Located in cytoplasm and ruffle membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
