Enables hormone activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell size; positive regulation of cellular response to insulin stimulus; and positive regulation of protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Located in ext
racellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and musculature. Orthologous to human C1QTNF9 (C1q and TNF related 9) and C1QTNF9B (C1q and TNF related 9B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
