Protein involved in establishing bud site selection; localizes to the bud neck and previous sites of cell division (bud scars or cytokinesis remnants (CRMs); localization to both sites is interdependent with Rax2p; required with Rax2p to anchor Nba1p and Nis1p to CRMs where a Cdc42p inhibitory zone is established, preventing repolarization of cells at previous division sites; predicted type IIIa transmembrane protein with similarity to members of the insulin-related peptide superfamily
