Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity. Acts upstream of or within nucleate erythrocyte development; pronephros development; and response to activity. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; digestive system; eye; heart; and immune system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); diabetic angiopathy; familial erythrocytosis 5; ischemia (multiple); and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to human EPO (erythropoietin). [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.
