Predicted to enable ATPase binding activity and protein self-association. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of VCP-NPL4-UFD1 AAA ATPase complex assembly; negative regulation of retrograde protein transport, ER to cytosol; and regulation of cellular catabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; endoplasmic reticulum; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be anchored component of membrane. Orthologous to human SVIP (small VCP interacting protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
