Summary
Predicted to enable monoatomic cation transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within calcineurin-mediated signaling. Located in fungal-type vacuole membrane. Is active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Orthologous to human SLC8B1 (solute carrier family 8 member B1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
