May play a role in regulated exocytosis. In neuronal cells, modulates the localization of synaptophysin/SYP into synaptic-like microvesicles and may therefore play a role in the formation and/or the maturation of this vesicles. May also play a role in GLUT4 storage and transport to the plasma membrane.
(Microbial infection) May play a role in the assembly of cytoplasmic inclusion bodies required for SFTS phlebovirus replication.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane, Cytoplasmic vesicle, Secretory vesicle, Synaptic vesicle membrane
Localizes to cytoplasmic vesicles associated with the recycling endosomes.
Subcellular locations: Lipid droplet
(Microbial infection) Upon SFTS phlebovirus infection, the protein localizes in lipid droplets and inclusion bodies.
Ubiquitous; low expression in brain.
