Summary: Enables peptidase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucose stimulus; cellular response to hepatocyte growth factor stimulus; and cellular response to staurosporine. Located in extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including alcoholic liver cirrhosis; lung disease (multiple); sciatic neuropathy; status epilepticus; and transient cerebral ischemia. Biomarker of brain disease (multiple); end stage renal disease; myocardial infarction; sciatic neuropathy; and thrombosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (multiple); Quebec platelet disorder; end stage renal disease; lung disease (multiple); and mitral valve prolapse. Orthologous to human PLAU (plasminogen activator, urokinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
