Summary
Predicted to enable several functions, including heparin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and receptor signaling protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in energy homeostasis; negative regulation of lipid catabolic process; and positive regulation of dendrite development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hippocampus development; response to environmental enrichment; and swimming behavior. Predicted to be located in axon and cell body. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study neuroblastoma. Orthologous to human ALK (ALK receptor tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

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.
