It has been suggested to be involved in several basic biological events such as cell death, tumor progression, and neurodegenerative disorders. Alternate splicing results in both coding and non-coding variants.[provided by RefSeq, May 2011] Expression Broad expression in brain (RPKM 523.1), liver (RPKM 432.6) and 16 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
