Function

ATLAS_DROME GTPase tethering membranes through formation of trans-homooligomers and mediating homotypic fusion of endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Functions in endoplasmic reticulum tubular network biogenesis. May also regulate microtubule polymerization and Golgi biogenesis. Required for dopaminergic neurons survival and the growth of muscles and synapses at neuromuscular junctions.[1] [2]
