| 1332505 | Unc119 | unc-119 lipid binding chaperone | The protein encoded by this gene is multifunctional, affecting trafficking of transducin in rod photoreceptors, interacting with src-type tyrosine kinases through SH2 and SH3 interacting domains, and aiding the uptake of bacteria through endocytosis. In addition, the encoded protein acts as a lipid- binding chaperone to help localize some myristoylated proteins correctly. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

| 1343859 | UNC119 | unc-119 lipid binding chaperone | This gene is specifically expressed in the photoreceptors in the retina. The encoded product shares strong homology with the C. elegans unc119 protein and it can functionally complement the C. elegans unc119 mutation. It has been localized to the photoreceptor synapses in the outer plexiform layer of the retina, and suggested to play a role in the mechanism of photoreceptor neurotransmitter release through the synaptic vesicle cycle. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
