description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including acrosome assembly; single fertilization; and vacuole organization. Located in Golgi apparatus. Is active in sperm head. Orthologous to human GARIN3 (golgi associated RAB2 interactor family member 3).
