GO curators for mouse genes have assigned the following annotations to the gene product of Gopc. (This text reflects annotations as of Wednesday, January 23, 2013.) Summary from NCBI RefSeq
[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a Golgi protein with a PDZ domain. The PDZ domain is globular and proteins which contain them bind other proteins through short motifs near the C-termini. Mice which are deficient in the orthologous protein have globozoospermia and are infertile. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Researchers have inferred from direct assay, that the gene product of Gopc
participates in the following biological processes:
The gene product of Gopc has been shown to bind to the gene products of Becn1, Grid1, Grid2, Rhoq. [2, 3, 5] Researchers have inferred, based on physical interactions, that the gene product of Gopc
