Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.2.0)

Predicted to enable several functions, including heparin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and receptor signaling protein tyrosine kinase activator activity. Involved in energy homeostasis; negative regulation of lipid catabolic process; and positive regulation of dendrite development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hippocampus development; response to environmental enrichment; and swimming behavior. Predicted to be located in axon and cell body. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system; and sensory organ. Used to study neuroblastoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence. Orthologous to human ALK (ALK receptor tyrosine kinase).
