    Summary
    Involved in several processes, including adult feeding behavior; inter-male aggressive behavior; and positive regulation of octopamine signaling pathway. Is expressed in several structures, including CNS glial cell; central brain primordium; embryonic central brain neurons; embryonic head epidermis; and ganglia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in scalp-ear-nipple syndrome. Orthologous to human KCTD1 (potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 1) and KCTD15 (potassium channel tetramerization domain containing 15).
