Summary
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Involved in cellular response to oxygen levels; feeding behavior; and response to axon injury. Located in cytosol and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Orthologous to human UCK2 (uridine-cytidine kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Biased expression in Thymus (RPKM 118.5), Heart (RPKM 80.5) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
