Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Vacuolar protein sorting-associated protein 8, central domain and Golgi CORVET complex core vacuolar protein 8. Is an ortholog of C. elegans vps-8.
Is an ortholog of C. elegans gei-4. In C. elegans, gei-4 is involved in negative regulation of Ras protein signal transduction and negative regulation of vulval development.
