Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable sphinganine-1-phosphate aldolase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; gonad development; and vasculogenesis. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 14. Orthologous to human SGPL1 (sphingosine-1-phosphate lyase 1).
