Predicted to enable sterol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in sterol transport. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease type C2. Is an ortholog of human NPC2 (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2).
Gene name created from parsing 'genotype' field from CGC strain information

Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
