Summary: Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; carbohydrate binding activity; and hyaluronic acid binding activity. Involved in cell-matrix adhesion; neurogenesis; and regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity. Located in several cellular components, including main axon; perineuronal net; and synaptic membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and perisynaptic extracellular matrix. Used to study high grade glioma. Biomarker of high grade glioma and middle cerebral artery infarction. Orthologous to human BCAN (brevican). [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.

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks multiple exons in the 3' coding region and its 3' terminal exon extends past a splice site that is used in variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) is shorter but has the same N-terminus compared to isoform 1.
