Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity; lipid transfer activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in regulation of presynaptic cytosolic calcium ion concentration. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic active zone cytoplasmic component. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; immune system; and lung. Used to study autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 67. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 67. Orthologous to human OSBPL2 (oxysterol binding protein like 2).
