[5] This gene represents the human homolog of Xenopus laevis apical protein (APX) gene, which is implicated in amiloride-sensitive sodium channel activity.

Depletion of this gene results in an increase in endothelial sprouting, migration, and angiogenesis.

This gene is highly expressed in the retina, and is a strong candidate for ocular albinism type 1 syndrome.
