Summary: Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and complement component C1q complex binding activity. Acts upstream of or within complement activation. Located in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder; autoimmune disease (multiple); complement deficiency (multiple); and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human C4A (complement C4A (Chido/Rodgers blood group)) and C4B (complement C4B (Chido/Rodgers blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
Annotation information: Annotation category: suggests misassembly; Note: Genetic polymorphisms result in both protein coding and non-coding alleles of this gene.
Expression: Biased expression in liver adult (RPKM 55.0), subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 18.7) and 10 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.
