Summary
Predicted to enable carbohydrate binding activity and metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cell-matrix adhesion. Located in basement membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and skin. Used to study Fraser syndrome; chromosome 9p deletion syndrome; and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Orthologous to human FREM1 (FRAS1 related extracellular matrix 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
