Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Involved in lipoprotein transport; negative regulation of caveolin-mediated endocytosis; and negative regulation of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in intercellular bridge and microtubule cytoskeleton. Is expressed in foregut; liver lobe; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and retina layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy and immunodeficiency 13. Orthologous to human UNC119 (unc-119 lipid binding chaperone).
