ENCODES a protein that exhibits growth factor binding; identical protein binding; hormone activity (ortholog); INVOLVED IN cellular response to L-arginine; cellular response to tumor necrosis factor; cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus; ASSOCIATED WITH Acute Experimental Pancreatitis; acute pan
creatitis; Brain Injuries; FOUND IN apical part of cell; extracellular space; protein-containing complex; INTERACTS WITH 1,2-dimethylhydrazine; 17alpha-ethynylestradiol; 17beta-estradiol
Predicted to enable several functions, including hormone activity; identical protein binding activity; and peptidoglycan binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-negative bacterium and defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Locate
d in collagen-containing extracellular matrix. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; hypoglossal nerve; and intestine. Orthologous to several human genes including REG3A (regenerating family member 3 alpha). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
