Description
Predicted to have cholesterol binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cholesterol efflux and intracellular cholesterol transport. Predicted to localize to endoplasmic reticulum; extracellular region; and lysosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Niemann-Pick disease and Niemann-Pick disease type C2. Is expressed in yolk syncytial layer. Orthologous to human NPC2 (NPC intracellular cholesterol transporter 2).
