Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including caveolin-mediated endocytosis; cellular response to cholesterol; and regulation of response to osmotic stress. Predicted to act upstream of or within ion transport. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; astrocyte end-foot; and cell-cell junction. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; eye; gut; and male reproductive gland or organ. Used to study megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in megalencephalic leukoencephalopathy with subcortical cysts 1. Orthologous to human MLC1 (modulator of VRAC current 1).

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.
