Enables phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in double-strand break repair via homologous recombination and regulation of cytokinesis. Acts upstream of or within autophagosome organization and lysosome organization. Located in several cellular components, including centrosome; endosome; and midbody. Implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 15.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a protein which contains a FYVE zinc finger binding domain. The presence of this domain is thought to target these proteins to membrane lipids through interaction with phospholipids in the membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive spastic paraplegia-15. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]
