    Summary
    Predicted to enable flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity and flavin-dependent sulfhydryl oxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including liver regeneration; negative regulation of natural killer cell mediated cytotoxicity; and positive regulation of DNA biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in kidney failure and renal fibrosis. Orthologous to human GFER (growth factor, augmenter of liver regeneration).

    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.
