Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to cholesterol; neurogenesis; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; female reproductive system; head mesenchyme; and urinary system.
