Full Name: defensin alpha 6provided by RGD
Primary source: RGD:1562293
See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000068468 AllianceGenome:RGD:1562293
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Summary: Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antimicrobial humoral immune response mediated by antimicrobial peptide; innate immune response in mucosa; and response to bacterium. Predicted to act upstream of or within defense response to bacterium and response to xenobiotic stimulus. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human DEFA3 (defensin alpha 3); DEFA4 (defensin alpha 4); and DEFA6 (defensin alpha 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
