Predicted to enable magnesium ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in adult locomotory behavior. Located in neuronal cell body. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 6 and hereditary spastic paraplegia 6. Is an ortholog of human NIPAL1 (NIPA like domain containing 1).
This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=Y53G8B.2. Surounding gene organisation=tandem
