Summary
Predicted to be involved in cell-matrix adhesion. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including body cavity or lining; genitourinary system; gut; heart; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ovarian cancer; pancreas disease; pancreatic cancer; and pancreatic ductal carcinoma. Orthologous to human MSLN (mesothelin).

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.
