Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables phosphatidylserine flippase activity. Involved in several processes, including learning; regulation of membrane lipid distribution; and synaptic vesicle endocytosis. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle and organelle membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and synaptic vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ATP8A1 (ATPase phospholipid transporting 8A1).
