Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including face morphogenesis; fibroblast migration; and luteinization. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cell junction and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and submandibular gland primordium. Orthologous to human SCHIP1 (schwannomin interacting protein 1).
