Also known as: PSP; PTP; REG-2
Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; peptidoglycan binding activity; and protein phosphatase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within myelination and suckling behavior. Located in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; male reproductive gland or organ; and mesenteric adipose tissue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 1 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to several human genes including REG1A (regenerating family member 1 alpha). [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.
