| Function |
Myoblast-specific protein that mediates myoblast fusion, an essential step for the formation of multi-nucleated muscle fibers. Actively participates in the membrane fusion reaction (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Localizes on the cell surface of myoblasts during fusion and is down-regulated thereafter. {ECO:0000250}.
