The encoded protein is used as a determinant of lymphocyte differentiation. Defects in this gene can lead to the calcification of joints and arteries. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011] Expression Ubiquitous expression in endometrium (RPKM 30.0), ovary (RPKM 19.6) and 22 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
