Protein involved in regulation of phospholipid metabolism; one of 6 proteins (Ist2p, Scs2p, Scs22p, Tcb1p, Tcb2p, Tcb3p) that connect the ER and plasma membrane (PM); regulates PM PI4P levels by controlling access of the Sac1p phosphatase to its substrate, PI4P; human VAP homolog; similar to D. melanogaster inturned protein; SWAT-GFP and mCherry fusion proteins localize to the cytosol; SCS22 has a paralog, SCS2, that arose from the whole genome duplication
