    Summary
    Predicted to enable kinase binding activity and signaling adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including hippo signaling; negative regulation of hippo signaling; and negative regulation of organ growth. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in telencephalon. Orthologous to human WWC2 (WW and C2 domain containing 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.
