Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including c-di-GMP signaling; growth plate cartilage development; and oogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of meiotic cell cycle; negative regulation of oocyte maturation; and regulation of growth. Predicted to be located in extracellular space and secretory granule. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in central nervous system and vertebral cartilage condensation. Used to study achondroplasia and osteochondrodysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in depressive disorder and hypertension. Orthologous to human NPPC (natriuretic peptide C).
