| Function | Probable transporter, its natural substrate has not been found yet. May have a role in macrophage lipid metabolism and neural development. |
| Subcellular Location | Endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11309290}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11309290}. Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11309290}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11309290}. Note=Forms discrete, punctate intracellular vesicles. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in the brain, whereas lower levels of expression is observed in kidney and liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11309290}. |
| Top Pathways | ABC transporters, Lysosome |
