This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phox (PX) domain, which is a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. This protein does not contain a coiled coil region, like some family members. This gene encodes a protein of unknown function. This gene results in two transcript variants differing in the 5' UTR, but encoding the same protein. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
Function: May be involved in several stages of intracellular trafficking (By similarity).
