    Summary
    Predicted to enable cholesterol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cholesterol transport and vesicle tethering to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum-endosome membrane contact site and late endosome membrane. Predicted to colocalize with endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including dorsal ectoderm; dorsal epidermis primordium; gland; gonad; and nurse cell. Orthologous to several human genes including STARD3 (StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
