    Summary
    Enables scavenger receptor activity. Involved in carotenoid transport; phototransduction; and rhodopsin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adult brain; anterior-posterior subdivision of organism; embryonic/larval fat body; epithelium; and gut section.
