Lunapark Endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-shaping membrane protein that plays a role in determining ER morphology. Involved in the stabilization of nascent three-way ER tubular junctions within the ER network. May also play a role as a curvature-stabilizing protein within the three-way ER tubular junction network. May be involved in limb development. Is involved in central nervous system development. Belongs to the lunapark family. Expressed in neural precursor cells, where it is detected at the growth-cone-like structure and branching sites of neurite-like processes. 4 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
