Predicted to enable heparin binding activity and transition metal ion binding activity. Involved in body morphogenesis; ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle; and nematode larval development. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Expressed in several structures, including epithelial cell; excretory cell; hermaphrodite gonad; neurons; and somatic nervous system. Used to study Alzheimer's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including APP-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy; Alzheimer's disease 1; traumatic brain injury; and visual epilepsy. Is an ortholog of human APLP2 (amyloid beta precursor like protein 2).
Predicted to enable unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in protein folding. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of prefoldin complex. Is an ortholog of human PFDN4 (prefoldin subunit 4).
