Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in COPII-coated ER to Golgi transport vesicle; Golgi membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; craniocervical region bone; retina; and thoracic segment skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniolenticulosutural dysplasia. Orthologous to human SEC23A (SEC23 homolog A, COPII coat complex component).
