Involved in positive regulation of myoblast differentiation. Acts upstream of or within axon guidance and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in growth cone and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; gut; and musculoskeletal system. Orthologous to human BOC (BOC cell adhesion associated, oncogene regulated). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
