Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Endoplasmic reticulum-anchored protein that mediates the formation of contact sites between the endoplasmic (ER) and endosomes, mitochondria or Golgi through interaction with conventional- and phosphorylated-FFAT-containing organelle-bound proteins (PubMed:29858488, PubMed:35389430, PubMed:33124732). In addition, forms endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-lipid droplets (LDs) contacts through a direct protein-membrane interaction and participates in LDs homeostasis (PubMed:35389430). The attachment mechanism involves an amphipathic helix that has an affinity for lipid packing defects present at the surface of LDs (PubMed:35389430). Promotes migration of primary monocytes and neutrophils, in response to various chemokines (PubMed:28137892).
