description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including phospholipid binding activity; phospholipid transporter activity; and receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in phospholipid transport. Predicted to be located in cell body; cytosol; and intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PITPNM1 (phosphatidylinositol transfer protein membrane associated 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit male-specific decrease in circulating cholesterol and circulating calcium levels and female-specific decreased leukocyte cell numbers and a slight increase in auditory brainstem response.
