该基因在成骨细胞中被甲状旁腺激素下调，因此被认为与甲状旁腺激素在骨骼中的作用有关。这个基因的确切功能尚未确定另外，还发现了编码不同亚型的剪接转录变体。[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]
