Enables phosphatidylcholine transporter activity. Involved in lipoprotein metabolic process; lumen formation, open tracheal system; and neuron development. Located in endomembrane system. Is expressed in adult head; adult heart; and embryonic/larval fat body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including abetalipoproteinemia; familial hypercholesterolemia; hyperinsulinism; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; and obesity.
