    Summary
    Predicted to enable coenzyme A diphosphatase activity. Involved in lipid droplet formation. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Siddiqi syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including FITM2 (fat storage inducing transmembrane protein 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
