Predicted to enable hepatocyte growth factor receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including exocrine pancreas development; nervous system development; and pectoral fin development. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in basal plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural rod; endocrine system; gut; musculature system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 97; carcinoma (multiple); distal arthrogryposis; and multiple myeloma. Orthologous to human MET (MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase).
