STORP is homologous to the EPB72 gene coding for the erythrocyte band 7 integral membrane protein or stomatin, which is deficient in a certain form of hereditary stomatocytosis.The function of STORP is unknown.
Stomatin is a poorly understood integral membrane protein that is absent from the erythrocyte membranes of many patients with hereditary stomatocytosis.
We have recently shown that amino acid substitutions in the membrane domain of band 3 (anion exchanger 1, SLC4A1) are associated with hereditary stomatocytosis (HSt), a red cell condition in which the cells leak sodium and potassium ions.

Dehydrated hereditary stomatocytosis, the most common form of hereditary stomatocytosis, is more heterogeneous than previously thought and includes kindreds showing pseudohyperkalemia or perinatal edema, or both.
