    Summary
    Predicted to enable cytidine kinase activity; identical protein binding activity; and uridine kinase activity. Involved in cellular response to oxygen levels; feeding behavior; and response to axon injury. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human UCK2 (uridine-cytidine kinase 2).

    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.
