Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of axon regeneration; negative regulation of membrane protein ectodomain proteolysis; and positive regulation of protein localization to cell surface. Located in growth cone; intracellular vesicle; and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; eye; inner ear; and nasal pit. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in urofacial syndrome. Orthologous to human LRIG2 (leucine rich repeats and immunoglobulin like domains 2).
