    Summary
    Involved in several processes, including Notch signaling pathway; oviposition; and pharynx development. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in oocyte. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; hidradenitis suppurativa; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human NCSTN (nicastrin).
