Protein function (UniProt)

Intermembrane lipid transfer protein VPS13C

Mediates the transfer of lipids between membranes at organelle contact sites (By similarity). Necessary for proper mitochondrial function and maintenance of mitochondrial transmembrane potential (PubMed:26942284). Involved in the regulation of PINK1/PRKN-mediated mitophagy in response to mitochondrial depolarization (PubMed:26942284)
