Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including monoatomic cation channel activity; phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in endocytosis involved in viral entry into host cell and sodium ion transmembrane transport. Located in early endosome membrane; endolysosome; and recycling endosome membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human TPCN1 (two pore segment channel 1).
