Function

May play a role in vesicle trafficking. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11511104, ECO:0000269PubMed:19289470}.

Subcellular Localization

Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:10523508, ECO:0000269PubMed:19289470}; Single-pass type IV membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:10523508, ECO:0000269PubMed:19289470}. Note=Present in the plasma membrane and in intracellular vesicles, together with SNARE proteins. May also associate with the cytoskeleton. Colocalizes with OCLN at the tight junction in polarized epithelial cells.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitous.
