    Summary
    Predicted to enable amyloid-beta binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of amyloid precursor protein biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ITM2B-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy 1 and ITM2B-related cerebral amyloid angiopathy 2. Orthologous to several human genes including ITM2A (integral membrane protein 2A) and ITM2B (integral membrane protein 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
