Summary: Enables MAP kinase kinase kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within enteric nervous system development and protein-containing complex assembly. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; digestive system; eye; intermediate mesoderm; and lateral line system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease; Parkinsonism; and epilepsy. Orthologous to human GDNF (glial cell derived neurotrophic factor).

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.
