Summary
Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase activity. Acts upstream of or within cartilage development and intrahepatic bile duct development. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane and trans-Golgi network. Is expressed in several structures, including endoderm; eye; integument; liver; and pleuroperitoneal region. Orthologous to human FURIN (furin, paired basic amino acid cleaving enzyme). [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.
