    Summary
    Enables epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity and signaling receptor inhibitor activity. Involved in negative regulation of epidermal growth factor-activated receptor activity and oogenesis. Located in apical plasma membrane. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval nervous system; imaginal disc; ocellar triangle; ovary; and ventral midline of embryo. Orthologous to human LRRC24 (leucine rich repeat containing 24). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
