    Summary
    Predicted to enable gamma-glutamyl carboxylase activity and vitamin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in peptidyl-glutamic acid carboxylation. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in combined deficiency of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors 1. Orthologous to human GGCX (gamma-glutamyl carboxylase). [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.
