Ovaj gen je član himerinske familije i kodira protein s forbol-estar/DAG-tippom zinkovog prsta, Rho-GAP domenom i SH2 domenom. Ovaj protein ima GTPazno aktivirajuće proteinsko dejstvo koje je regulisano vezivanjem fosfolipida. Vezivanje diacilglicerola (DAG) indukuje translokaciju proteina iz citozola u membranu Goldžijevog aparata.
