The proteins in this family are represented by UNC-93 from Caenorhabditis elegans and also includes protein unc-93 homologue A (UNC93A), protein unc-93 homologue B1 (UNC93B1), and UNC93-like protein MFSD11 (also called major facilitator superfamily domain-containing protein 11 or protein ET). UNC-93 colocalizes with SUP-10 and SUP-9 within muscle cells. UNC-93 acts as a regulatory subunit of a multi-subunit potassium channel complex that may function in coordinating muscle contraction in C. elegans []. UNC93B1 controls intracellular trafficking and transport of a subset of Toll-like receptors (TLRs), including TLR3, TLR7 and TLR9, from the endoplasmic reticulum to endolysosomes where they can engage pathogen nucleotides and activate signalling cascades []. MFSD11 is ubiquitously expressed in the periphery and the central nervous system of mice, where it is expressed in excitatory and inhibitory mouse brain neurons [].This group of proteins also includes Notoamide biosynthesis cluster protein O' from Aspergillus versicolor, which is involved in the biosynthesis of notoamide, a fungal indole alkaloid that belongs to a family of natural products containing a characteristic bicyclo[2.2.2]diazaoctane core [].
