    Summary
    Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in defense response to Gram-positive bacterium. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in body wall musculature; hypodermis; intestine; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in basal ganglia disease; hemochromatosis type 5; hyperferritinemia-cataract syndrome; and neurodegenerative disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including FTMT (ferritin mitochondrial). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
