Summary: Enables Notch binding activity. Involved in several processes, including myoblast development; positive regulation of myoblast proliferation; and skeletal muscle satellite cell proliferation. Acts upstream of or within apoptotic process involved in development; engulfment of apoptotic cell; and recognition of apoptotic cell. Located in phagocytic cup. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; heart; retina layer; skeletal muscle tissue; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 10B and early-onset myopathy-areflexia-respiratory distress-dysphagia syndrome. Orthologous to human MEGF10 (multiple EGF like domains 10). [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.
