Gene names from gene ID

I'm aligning my sequence to the Acinetobacter baumanii genome and when I look at the gtf file for the species, I get the following types of lines: 

NZ_CP009257.1   RefSeq  CDS     284     558     .       -       0       transcript_id "gene-IX87_RS00010"; gene_id "gene-IX87_RS00010"; gene_name "IX87_RS00010";

The issue is that I don't know how to figure out what the gene "IX87_RS00010" is. I tried to google the gene and didn't get anything. Does anybody know how I can figure out the gene based on this ID and what the gene does? I suppose there should be something on NCBI?

Thanks!
