Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable phospholipid scramblase activity. Involved in autophagy; bone morphogenesis; and programmed necrotic cell death. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including autophagosome assembly; negative regulation of cytokine production; and protein localization to Golgi apparatus. Located in Golgi membrane; autophagosome; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is active in synaptic membrane. Is expressed in brain; cochlea; heart; liver; and lung. Orthologous to human ATG9A (autophagy related 9A).
