Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables hormone activity and hydroxyapatite binding activity. A structural constituent of bone. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of bone development; positive regulation of neurotransmitter secretion; and regulation of testosterone biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; positive regulation of insulin secretion; and type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Located in extracellular space. Is active in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including forelimb; jaw; skeleton; and tongue. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteoarthritis; osteoporosis; prostate cancer; rheumatoid arthritis; and vitamin K deficiency bleeding.
