Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables lipid transfer activity; molecular adaptor activity; and phosphatidic acid binding activity. Involved in several processes, including COPII-coated vesicle cargo loading; lipid droplet fusion; and very-low-density lipoprotein particle assembly. Part of COPII vesicle coat. Is active in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum membrane; and lipid droplet. Is expressed in autopod; dorsal root ganglion; and urinary system. Orthologous to human CIDEB (cell death inducing DFFA like effector b).
