== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Molecular tethering protein that connects endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria membranes (PubMed:29097544). PDZD8- dependent endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria membrane tethering is essential for endoplasmic reticulum-mitochondria Ca(2+) transfer (PubMed:29097544). In neurons, involved in the regulation of dendritic Ca(2+) dynamics by regulating mitochondrial Ca(2+) uptake in neurons (PubMed:29097544). Plays an indirect role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization (PubMed:21834987). May inhibit herpes simplex virus 1 infection at an early stage (PubMed:21549406). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21549406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21834987, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29097544}.
