Summary: Predicted to enable lysophosphatidylcholine flippase activity; lysophospholipid:sodium symporter activity; and oleate transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including central nervous system development; lipid transport across blood-brain barrier; and lysophospholipid translocation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including photoreceptor cell development; regulation of lipid metabolic process; and retina development in camera-type eye. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 15. Orthologous to human MFSD2A (MFSD2 lysolipid transporter A, lysophospholipid). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
