gene: tat-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables ATPase-coupled intramembrane lipid transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including lysosome organization; phospholipid translocation; and regulation of phagocytosis, engulfment. Located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; basolateral plasma membrane; and endosome. Expressed in several structures, including intestine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cerebellar ataxia, mental retardation and dysequlibrium syndrome. Is an ortholog of human ATP8A2 (ATPase phospholipid transporting 8A2).
