Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter activity. Predicted to be involved in transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in membrane. Expressed in amphid neurons; intestine; and retrovesicular ganglion neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 115. Is an ortholog of human SPNS1 (SPNS lysolipid transporter 1, lysophospholipid); SPNS2 (SPNS lysolipid transporter 2, sphingosine-1-phosphate); and SPNS3 (SPNS lysolipid transporter 3, sphingosine-1-phosphate (putative)).
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.
