Summary
Predicted to enable hormone activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of gluconeogenesis; positive regulation of glucose import; and positive regulation of insulin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of fatty acid transport and regulation of fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
