Summary
Enables ceramide binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endosome transport via multivesicular body sorting pathway; negative regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of lysosomal membrane permeability. Located in several cellular components, including endosome; lysosomal membrane; and plasma membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]

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.
