Summary: Enables G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; positive regulation of G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; and response to oxidative stress. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in adult head and adult heart. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial complex V (ATP synthase) deficiency nuclear type 3. Orthologous to several human genes including ATP5F1E (ATP synthase F1 subunit epsilon). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
