Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in vesicle tethering to endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane; endoplasmic reticulum-endosome membrane contact site; and late endosome membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital adrenal hyperplasia. Is an ortholog of human STAR (steroidogenic acute regulatory protein).
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.
