Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis involved in innervation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasmic vesicle; endoplasmic reticulum; and extracellular region. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic cleft. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; molar; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia. Orthologous to human NPTX1 (neuronal pentraxin 1).
