Summary: Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within Kupffer's vesicle development and visual perception. Predicted to be located in centrosome; cytoplasm; and spindle pole. Is expressed in several structures, including adaxial cell; central nervous system; renal system; solid lens vesicle; and visual system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cone-rod dystrophy 24 and immunodeficiency 13. Orthologous to human UNC119 (unc-119 lipid binding chaperone).

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.
