Predicted to enable extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
exp-1. In C. elegans,
exp-1 is involved in several processes, including lipid transport involved in lipid storage; metal ion transport; and positive regulation of multicellular organismal process.
