About Retn

Summary

Predicted to enable hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell communication; positive regulation of smooth muscle cell migration; and positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation. Located in extracellular space and nucleus. Used to study colitis. Biomarker of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypertension; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; obesity; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human RETN (resistin).
