Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton-dependent cytokinesis; plasma membrane tubulation; and positive regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division. Located in growth cone and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human SNX18 (sorting nexin 18).
