Summary
Enables sterol transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle; nematode larval development; and sterol transport. Located in apical plasma membrane and endocytic vesicle. Is expressed in head and hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Donnai-Barrow syndrome; autoimmune thyroiditis; keratosis pilaris atrophicans; myocardial infarction; and sciatic neuropathy. Orthologous to several human genes including LRP2 (LDL receptor related protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
