Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and low-density lipoprotein particle receptor binding activity. Involved in phagocytosis and positive regulation of skeletal muscle acetylcholine-gated channel clustering. Acts upstream of or within protein folding and protein localization to cell surface. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and ventricular layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 20. Orthologous to human MESD (mesoderm development LRP chaperone).
