Summary
Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in vesicle tethering to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum-endosome membrane contact site and late endosome membrane. Predicted to colocalize with endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including STARD3 (StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
