Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of fat cell differentiation; regulation of transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway; and transmembrane receptor protein serine/threonine kinase signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior axis specification; negative regulation of myoblast differentiation; and notochord development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Klippel-Feil syndrome 3 and isolated microphthalmia 7. Orthologous to human GDF3 (growth differentiation factor 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression: Biased expression in Spleen (RPKM 19.0), Uterus (RPKM 5.4) 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.
