Summary
Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; mucociliary clearance; and myeloid dendritic cell activation. Located in cytoplasm and extracellular region. Is expressed in central nervous system; liver; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial adult myoclonic epilepsy 2. Orthologous to human STARD7 (StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks an alternate coding exon compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
