Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Furin-like cysteine rich region; Fibronectin type III superfamily; Receptor L-domain; Furin-like repeat; Immunoglobulin-like fold; Receptor L domain; Growth factor receptor cysteine-rich domain superfamily; Receptor L-domain superfamily; and Furin-like cysteine-rich domain. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
daf-2 and members of the C. elegans ver and kin gene classes including
ver-3 and
kin-15. In C. elegans,
daf-2 is involved in several processes, including dauer exit; regulation of developmental process; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process.
