Predicted to enable metal ion binding activity and serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Involved in axon development; cell adhesion mediated by integrin; and muscle attachment. Located in M band; basement membrane; and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in basal lamina; coelomocyte; excretory canal; and pharynx. Is an ortholog of human SPON1 (spondin 1).
Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-leucine catabolic process and ketone body biosynthetic process. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder. Is an ortholog of human HMGCL (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase) and HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1).
