    Summary
    Enables receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of leukocyte activation. Located in external side of plasma membrane and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon carcinoma; glioblastoma; and high grade glioma. Orthologous to human FLT3LG (fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand).

    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.
