Summary
This gene encodes a member of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) family. These growth factors are ligands for the EGFR/ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases, and play roles in cell growth and differentiation. The encoded protein is synthesized as a transmembrane precursor that is proteolytically cleaved to generate a mature peptide, and plays a role in the differentiation of pancreatic beta cells. This gene may also play a protective role in acute pancreatitis, whereas increased expression of this gene may contribute to diabetic macular edema. Gene therapy using combinations of this gene and other pancreas-specific transcription factors may induce islet neogenesis and remediate hyperglycemia in type 1 diabetes.

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.
