    Summary
    Predicted to enable signaling receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within blood vessel development and brown fat cell differentiation. Predicted to be located in basement membrane. Predicted to be active in neuromuscular junction and synaptic cleft. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy 1JJ. Orthologous to human LAMA4 (laminin subunit alpha 4).

    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.
