The phrase "a possible function of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing potential roles or purposes of something in a specific context.
Example: "Researchers are exploring a possible function of the protein in cellular communication."
Alternatives: "a potential role of" or "a likely purpose of".
Efferent inhibition on the cochlea is suggested as a possible function of the olivocochlear bundle (OCB).
A possible function of the oligomerization of the GABAB heterodimer is modulation of receptor signalling.
To investigate the mechanisms of the inhibitory effect of BMP7 on telomerase activity, we determined hTERT gene expression as a possible function of the activation of Smad proteins.
Structure-based site-directed mutagenesis followed by invasion assays indicates that key residues in the putative binding site are indeed essential for the Cj0977 virulence function, suggesting a possible function of Cj0977 as an acyl-CoA binding regulatory protein.

Therefore, a possible function of STK35 in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton was proposed [7].
It is difficult to speculate on a possible function of Asterix, or even to determine its most likely structure.
Insights into a possible function of PrP may be obtained through the characterization of its molecular neighborhood in cells.
Interestingly, a possible function of stimulus-independent thoughts may precisely be to prepare for upcoming events and to manage one's current concerns [43], [54].
In this way, the modeling predicted a possible function of CD95 N-glycosylation for the proper caspase-8 activation (Figure 2D).
A possible function of pachytene piRNAs in translational regulation was suggested based on their time-dependent differential association with polysomes and ribonucleotide particles [32], [33].
