Function

PDR16_YEAST Has phosphatidylinositol transfer activity. Involved in the regulation of the phospholipid composition of plasma- and endomembranes. Altering plasma membrane composition may provide a possible mechanism for multidrug resistance. Involved in the regulation of sterol biosynthesis. Contributes to efficient phospholipase D1 activation in the regulation of phospholipid turnover.^{[1] [2]}
