    Summary
    Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and ATP hydrolysis activity. Involved in several processes, including eye pigment granule organization; larval fat body development; and nuclear envelope budding. Part of nuclear membrane protein complex. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic/larval midgut; eye disc anterior to the morphogenetic furrow; eye disc posterior to the morphogenetic furrow; and interommatidial bristle. Used to study dystonia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arthrogryposis multiplex congenita-5 and torsion dystonia 1. Orthologous to several human genes including TOR1A (torsin family 1 member A) and TOR1B (torsin family 1 member B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
