Function SNARE that may be involved in targeting and fusion of Golgi-derived retrograde transport vesicles with the ER. Required for maintenance of ER network. Implicated in the suppression of cell death. May be involved in mitochondrial autophagy. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15272311, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21931693}.
Subcellular Location Mitochondrion. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane; Single-pass type IV membrane protein.
Tissue Specificity Isoform 1 is highly expressed in heart, brain, liver skeletal muscle and pancreas. Isoform 3 is moderately expressed in placenta, lung and kidney. Isoform 4 is highly expressed in testis and small intestine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10217402}.
