    Summary
    Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and ATP hydrolysis activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to misfolded protein. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Is expressed in anal depressor muscle; head mesodermal cell; head neurons; and intestinal muscle. 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]
