Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including identical protein binding activity; phospholipid binding activity; and ubiquitin-specific protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including endosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway; regulation of endosome size; and vacuolar transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including bounding membrane of organelle; early endosome; and kinetochore microtubule. Predicted to be part of ESCRT III complex and nuclear pore. Predicted to be active in multivesicular body. Is expressed in brain; male reproductive gland or organ; metanephros; and neural retinal epithelium. Orthologous to several human genes including CHMP3 (charged multivesicular body protein 3).
