Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 6.0.0)
Predicted to enable cargo receptor activity; hemoglobin binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lipoprotein transport; receptor-mediated endocytosis; and response to bacterium. Located in several cellular components, including brush border; clathrin-coated pit; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is active in microvillus membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including egg cylinder; embryo endoderm; genitourinary system; and midgut. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in coronary artery disease. Orthologous to human CUBN (cubilin).
