Protein Structure

|
Function |
Involved in synaptic functions in photoreceptor cells, the signal transduction in immune cells as a Src family kinase activator, endosome recycling, the uptake of bacteria and endocytosis, protein trafficking in sensory neurons and as lipid- binding chaperone with specificity for a diverse subset of myristoylated proteins. Specifically binds the myristoyl moiety of a subset of N-terminally myristoylated proteins and is required for their localization. Binds myristoylated GNAT1 and is required for G-protein localization and trafficking in sensory neurons. Probably plays a role in trafficking proteins in photoreceptor cells. Plays important roles in mediating Src family kinase signals for the completion of cytokinesis via RAB11A. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12496276, ECO:0000269PubMed:14757743, ECO:0000269PubMed:19381274, ECO:0000269PubMed:21642972, ECO:0000269PubMed:22085962, ECO:0000269PubMed:23535298}.

Subcellular Localization |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Note=Localizes to the centrosome in interphase cells and begins to translocate from the spindle pole to the spindle midzone after the onset of mitosis; it then localizes to the intercellular bridge in telophase cells and to the midbody in cytokinetic cells.

Disease Associations |
Note=Defects in UNC119 may be a cause of cone-rod dystrophy. A mutation was found in a 57-year-old woman with late- onset cone-rod dystrophy: from 40 year old, the patient suffered from poor night vision, defective color vision and light- sensitivity. At 57 year old, she displayed reduced visual acuity, myopa, macular atrophy and pericentral ring scotomas. The disease was caused by a heterozygous mutation causing premature termination and truncated UNC119 protein with dominant-negative effect.Immunodeficiency 13 (IMD13) [MIM:615518]: A rare and heterogeneous syndrome defined by a reproducible reduction in the CD4 T-lymphocyte count (less than 300 cells per microliter or less than 20% of total T-cells) in the absence of HIV infection or other known causes of immunodeficiency. IMD13 predisposes to infections and malignancy. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22184408}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity |
Abundantly expressed in retina, in photoreceptor synapses and inner segments. Expressed in a much lesser extent in several other tissues. {ECO:0000269PubMed:9761287}.
