Summary
Predicted to enable glycolipid binding activity; lipid transfer activity; and phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in ER to Golgi ceramide transport and intermembrane lipid transfer. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm and trans-Golgi network. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; gut; and mesenteric adipose tissue. Orthologous to several human genes including PLEKHA8 (pleckstrin homology domain containing A8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 5' UTR, lacks a portion of the 5' coding region, and initiates translation at an alternate start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a distinct N-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.
