ID:OSTN_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Osteocrin; AltName: Full=Musclin; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Appears to modulate osteoblastic differentiation. Could also function as an autocrine and paracrine factor linked to glucose metabolism in skeletal muscle (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in bone.
Pfam Domains: PF11037 - Insulin-resistance promoting peptide in skeletal muscle

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
