Summary
Predicted to enable protein-membrane adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in endoplasmic reticulum membrane organization and endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane tethering. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8; autosomal dominant adult-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy; and spinal muscular atrophy. Orthologous to human VAPA (VAMP associated protein A) and VAPB (VAMP associated protein B and C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
