Predicted to enable actin binding activity and calcidiol binding activity. Acts upstream of or within vitamin D metabolic process. Predicted to be located in axon; extracellular space; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; hemolymphoid system gland; liver; male reproductive gland or organ; and trigeminal nerve. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; hepatocellular carcinoma; human immunodeficiency virus infectious disease; and rheumatic fever.
