    Summary
    Predicted to enable heme binding activity and heme oxygenase (decyclizing) activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including heme catabolic process; heme oxidation; and response to hypoxia. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human HMOX2 (heme oxygenase 2).

    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.
