The protein encode dby this gene is expressed in a developmentally regulated manner in lymphoid cell lines and tissues. The protein is localized to the cytoplasmic face of the endoplasmic reticulum. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Function:
Plays a role in the delivery of peptides to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules; this occurs in a transporter associated with antigen processing (TAP)-independent manner. May play a role in taste signal transduction via ITPR3. May play a role during fertilization in pronucleus congression and fusion. Plays a role in maintaining nuclear shape, maybe as a component of the LINC complex and through interaction with microtubules. Plays a role in the regulation of cellular excitability by regulating the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated HCN4 channel activity (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q60664}.

Tissue Expression:
Expressed at high levels in pre B-cells, mature B-cells and pre T-cells. Expressed at low levels in mature T-cells and plasma B-cells. Expressed in germinal center B-cells, splenic marginal zone cells and B-cell lymphomas. Expressed in neuronal cells in the cerebral cortex, epithelial cells in tonsil, adrenal glands, zymogen-producing cells in the stomach and epithelial cells in seminal vesicles. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16739114, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8021504}.
