Summary
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; calcium-dependent phospholipase A2 activity; and calcium-dependent phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in glycerophospholipid catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including arachidonic acid secretion; cellular response to antibiotic; and prostaglandin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol; ruffle membrane; and vesicle. [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.

RNA

  1. NR_033151.2 RNA Sequence

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate 5' exon, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
