This gene encodes a transmembrane protein that belongs to the Tmemb_18A family. A similar protein in yeast is a component of an endoplasmic reticulum-associated protein phosphatase complex and is thought to play a role in the synthesis of triacylglycerol. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2013],
