Predicted to enable SNARE binding activity and zinc ion binding activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be part of COPII vesicle coat. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum exit site. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cerebral cortex marginal layer; and embryo. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cole-Carpenter syndrome. Orthologous to human SEC24D (SEC24 homolog D, COPII coat complex component). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
