    Summary
    Predicted to enable cytokine activity and growth factor activity. Involved in cellular response to hypoxia and response to X-ray. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Used to study high grade glioma. Biomarker of periodontal disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in epidermodysplasia verruciformis. Orthologous to human IL7 (interleukin 7). [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.
