    Summary
    Enables GTPase activity and calcium ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including activation of store-operated calcium channel activity; positive regulation of JNK cascade; and store-operated calcium entry. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; Weibel-Palade body; and immunological synapse. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
