Macoilin, a conserved nervous system-specific ER membrane protein that regulates neuronal excitability.
Genome sequence comparisons have highlighted many novel gene families that are conserved across animal phyla but whose biological function is unknown. Here, we functionally characterize a member of one such family, the macoilins. Macoilins are characterized by several highly conserved predicted tran...
