Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport and vesicle-mediated transport. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is expressed in several structures, including incisor; liver lobe; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and retina. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 19. Orthologous to human COPB2 (COPI coat complex subunit beta 2).
