Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity and phospholipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within adaptation of rhodopsin mediated signaling and retina layer formation. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; neuron to neuron synapse; and photoreceptor inner segment. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in cell surface. Is expressed in eye. Used to study X-linked juvenile retinoschisis 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked juvenile retinoschisis 1 and retinoschisis. Orthologous to human RS1 (retinoschisin 1).
