Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity; nucleoside diphosphate phosphatase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in proteoglycan biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within ribonucleoside diphosphate catabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study Desbuquois dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Desbuquois dysplasia and multiple epiphyseal dysplasia 7. Orthologous to human CANT1 (calcium activated nucleotidase 1).
