Also known as: CG18028; Dm-lt(het); Dmel\CG18028; l(2)40Fb; Lt; vps41; Vps41
Summary: Predicted to enable zinc ion binding activity. Involved in several processes, including determination of adult lifespan; dsRNA transport; and endosomal vesicle fusion. Part of HOPS complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic/larval fat body; embryonic/larval salivary gland; gonad; and larval brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 29. Orthologous to human VPS41 (VPS41 subunit of HOPS complex).
