Function

Non-catalytic component of the multisynthase complex. Stimulates the catalytic activity of cytoplasmic arginyl-tRNA synthase. Binds tRNA. Possesses inflammatory cytokine activity. Negatively regulates TGF-beta signaling through stabilization of SMURF2 by binding to SMURF2 and inhibiting its SMAD7-mediated degradation. Involved in glucose homeostasis through induction of glucagon secretion at low glucose levels. Promotes dermal fibroblast proliferation and wound repair. Regulates KDELR1- mediated retention of HSP90B1/gp96 in the endoplasmic reticulum. Plays a role in angiogenesis by inducing endothelial cell migration at low concentrations and endothelian cell apoptosis at high concentrations. Induces maturation of dendritic cells and monocyte cell adhesion. Modulates endothelial cell responses by degrading HIF-1A through interaction with PSMA7 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle. Secreted. Endoplasmic reticulum. Golgi apparatus. Note=Enriched in secretory vesicles of pancreatic alpha cells and secreted from the pancreas in response to low glucose levels. Also secreted in response to hypoxia and both apoptotic and necrotic cell death.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in salivary glands and pancreatic alpha cells in the adult (at protein level). In the embryo, expressed primarily at sites of tissue remodeling such as ganglia, developing bones and teeth. {ECO:0000269PubMed:17001013, ECO:0000269PubMed:9770485}.
