    Summary
    Enables heparan sulfate proteoglycan binding activity. Involved in cellular response to growth factor stimulus and response to organic cyclic compound. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in polycystic ovary syndrome. Orthologous to human FST (follistatin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 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.
