Predicted to enable cytokine activity and phenylpyruvate tautomerase activity. Predicted to be involved in signal transduction. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cystic fibrosis; and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
