Summary: Predicted to enable retinol transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within establishment of localization in cell; positive regulation of receptor signaling pathway via JAK-STAT; and retinol transport. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in syndromic microphthalmia 9. Orthologous to human STRA6 (signaling receptor and transporter of retinol STRA6).

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.
