Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable ubiquitin conjugating enzyme binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lipid droplet formation; lipophagy; and protein localization to lipid droplet. Predicted to be located in autophagosome; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and lipid droplet. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human AUP1 (AUP1 lipid droplet regulating VLDL assembly factor).
