Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables sphingolipid transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including regulation of T cell migration; sensory perception of sound; and sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lymph node development; lymphocyte homeostasis; and regulation of eye pigmentation. Predicted to be located in endosome and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in jaw bone; nervous system; sensory organ; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 115. Orthologous to human SPNS2 (SPNS lysolipid transporter 2, sphingosine-1-phosphate).
