    Summary
    Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity. Involved in presynaptic active zone organization. Located in axon terminus. Is expressed in adult head; brain; larval nervous system; larval ventral nerve cord; and neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Cenani-Lenz syndactyly syndrome; congenital myasthenic syndrome 17; and sclerosteosis 2. Orthologous to human LRP4 (LDL receptor related protein 4).
