Caenorhabditis elegans Enables GTPase activator activity and protein sequestering activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of brood size; positive regulation of reproductive process; and regulation of cellular component organization. Located in several cellular components, including mitochondrial outer membrane; neuronal cell body; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including gonad. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; B-cell lymphoma (multiple); colorectal adenocarcinoma; and transient cerebral ischemia. Is an ortholog of human BCL2L2 (BCL2 like 2) and BCL2L2-PABPN1 (BCL2L2-PABPN1 readthrough).
