Homo sapiens This gene encodes a potential transmembrane protein that may function in vesicle-mediated transport and sorting of proteins within the cell. This protein may play a role in the development and the function of the eye, hematological system, and central nervous system. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Cohen syndrome. Multiple splice variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Saccharomyces cerevisiae Lipid transport protein; involved in vacuolar protein sorting, protein retention in the Golgi, and prospore membrane formation; required for mitochondrial integrity and ER packaging into autophagosomes during cortical reticulophagy; role in membrane remodeling for MVB biogenesis with phospholipid scramblase Any1p; peripheral membrane protein of the prospore membrane and membrane contact sites; homolog of human VPS13A and VPS13B, involved in Chorea-acanthocytosis and Cohen syndrome, respectively

Rattus norvegicus Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acrosome assembly; maintenance of lens transparency; and slow endocytic recycling. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including dentate gyrus development; head morphogenesis; and social behavior. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and bounding membrane of organelle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cohen syndrome. Orthologous to human VPS13B (vacuolar protein sorting 13 homolog B); INTERACTS WITH (+)-schisandrin B; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 2,6-dinitrotoluene.
