SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	essential regulator of left-right patterning (
	possible involvement in astrocytic engulfment
	function for MEGF8 in intracellular trafficking could account for both the presence of the predicted transmembrane domain and the phenotypic similarity in the consequences of MEGF8 and RAB23 mutations
