Involved dehydration tolerance. Involved in the adaptive response of vascular plants to withstand water deficit (PubMed:20668063). May possess chaperone-like activity under water deficit (PubMed:27006402). Binds to negatively charged membranes of liposomes. This binding induces partial folding of the largely unstructured LEA18 protein, vesicle aggregation, and leakage of soluble content from liposomes (PubMed:20875393).

Belongs to the LEA type 1 family.
