Is an ortholog of human PICALM (phosphatidylinositol binding clathrin assembly protein). Is predicted to have SNARE binding activity\; clathrin heavy chain binding activity\; and phosphatidylinositol binding activity. Is involved in several processes, including endocytosis\; locomotion\; and positive regulation of necrotic cell death. Localizes to the clathrin-coated pit and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several tissues, including the coelomocyte\; the intestine\; the somatic nervous system\; and the uv1.
