|
| Function |
Involved in endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) for misfolded lumenal proteins, possibly by tethering VCP to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. May play a role in reproduction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21949850}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21949850}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21949850}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed abundantly in ovary and testis, and weakly in all other tissues tested.
