Description

phosphatidylinositol-binding protein SCS2

Gene Summary

Enables FFAT motif binding activity and phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Involved in several processes, including endoplasmic reticulum organization; negative regulation of protein import into nucleus; and regulation of phosphatidylinositol dephosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to starvation and reticulophagy. Located in several cellular components, including cellular bud tip; nuclear membrane; and nucleus-vacuole junction. Used to study amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 8; autosomal dominant adult-onset proximal spinal muscular atrophy; and spinal muscular atrophy. Orthologous to several human genes including VAPB (VAMP associated protein B and C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
