Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables several functions, including cholesterol binding activity; phospholipid binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including aminophospholipid transport; protein targeting to lysosome; and regulation of glucosylceramidase activity. Acts upstream of or within endosome to plasma membrane protein transport and sensory perception of sound. Located in endocytic vesicle membrane; lysosome; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; liver; and retina. Used to study progressive myoclonus epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in progressive myoclonus epilepsy 4. Orthologous to human SCARB2 (scavenger receptor class B member 2).
