Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in myelination; zinc export across plasma membrane; and zinc ion import into synaptic vesicle. Located in synaptic vesicle membrane. Is active in intracellular vesicle and plasma membrane. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cortical layer V; cortical subplate; heart; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy 25. Orthologous to human TMEM163 (transmembrane protein 163).
