Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables lipase binding activity; lipoprotein particle binding activity; and protein transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cholesterol homeostasis; positive regulation of chylomicron remnant clearance; and protein transport. Acts upstream of or within lipid transport. Located in apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and external side of plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial GPIHBP1 deficiency. Orthologous to human GPIHBP1 (glycosylphosphatidylinositol anchored high density lipoprotein binding protein 1).
