該基因在成骨細胞中被甲狀旁腺激素下調，因此被認為與甲狀旁腺激素在骨骼中的作用有關。這個基因的確切功能尚未確定另外，還發現了編碼不同亞型的剪接轉錄變體。[由RefSeq提供，2017年1月]
This gene is downregulated by parathyroid hormone in osteoblastic cells, and therefore is thought to be involved in parathyroid hormone action in bones. The exact function of this gene has not yet been determined. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2017]
