The phrase "a linker function" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts related to programming, linguistics, or any field where linking elements or functions is discussed.
Example: "In programming, a linker function is essential for combining various code modules into a single executable."
Alternatives: "a linking function" or "a connection function".

In contrast, Nef is a peripheral membrane protein, and appears to have a linker function, among others.
A linker function has been postulated for HIP-1 (Huntingtin interacting protein 1) in combination with its close relative HIP1-R (HIP12).

Spc105p/Kre28p has a similar linker function to the MIND and Ndc80 complexes as it depends on CBF3, but not on the MIND or Ndc80 complexes for CEN binding.
A critical aspect of linker function is the presence or absence of a phenomenon known as the bystander effect.
We speculate that the primary motor function carrying cargos and the linker function linking an actin filament and a microtubule are two alternative functions of myosin-X.
Very few studies have dealt with the linker function and regulation at a transcriptional level.
Sequential binding of PIP2 and phosphorylation of a conserved threonine residue (T567) are required for ezrin activation and membrane-cytoskeleton linker function [ 8].
Given the disruption of Ca++ and MAPK signaling in VavNULL T cells, we reasoned that defective Rac activation in these cells likely results from the loss of Vav linker function.
My intuition tells me that the "linker" function of Ist2p is somehow related to transport of lipids from the ER to the plasma membrane.
