Summary
Predicted to enable hydrolase activity. Involved in regulation of lipid storage and response to retinoic acid. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; heart and pericardium; and neural retina. Used to study Barth syndrome. Orthologous to human MEST (mesoderm specific transcript). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Biased expression in limb E14.5 (RPKM 597.0), CNS E11.5 (RPKM 207.7) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
