Acts upstream of or within regulation of bone remodeling. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; craniocervical region bone; lung; nervous system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity. Orthologous to human CARTPT (CART prepropeptide).
