Summary: Predicted to enable arginase activity; manganese ion binding activity; and nitric-oxide synthase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; negative regulation of activated CD8-positive, alpha-beta T cell apoptotic process; and regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within striated muscle contraction. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human ARG2 (arginase 2). [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.
