Summary: Predicted to enable calcium activated cation channel activity. Predicted to be involved in cation transport. Located in apical part of cell and cytoplasm. Is expressed in adult head and organism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypomyelinating leukodystrophy. Orthologous to human TMEM63A (transmembrane protein 63A); TMEM63B (transmembrane protein 63B); and TMEM63C (transmembrane protein 63C). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
