Expression of this gene is thought to serve as a marker for differentiated vascular smooth muscle cells which may have a role in regulating growth and differentiation of this cell type.
The encoded protein is highly similar to the corresponding rat and mouse proteins.
Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of only one variant has been defined.
