NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene binds high density lipoprotein (HDL) and may function to regulate excess cholesterol levels in cells. The encoded protein also binds RNA and can induce heterochromatin formation. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2011]
