Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in the transport of receptors from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the cell surface. The encoded protein may also play a role in regulating ER membrane structure. This gene is required for the proper development of retinal rods and photoreceptors, with defects in this gene being associated with retinitis pigmentosa 77. [provided by RefSeq, May 2017].
- UniProt Summary: May play a role in intracellular protein transport from the endoplasmic reticulum to the cell surface (By similarity). Required for correct function and survival of retinal photoreceptors (PubMed:27889058). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JM62, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27889058}.
