Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function May participate in mRNA transport in the cytoplasm (By similarity). Critical component of the oxidative stress-induced survival signaling. Activates src family kinases and acts as a scaffolding protein enabling src family kinases to phosphorylate and activate PI3-kinase. Binds RNA and promotes the secretion of IGF-II. May play a pivotal role in the progression of scirrhous- type gastric cancer by supporting cancer cell survival in environments with various oxidative stresses. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269PubMed:19015244}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:19015244}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269PubMed:19015244}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269PubMed:19015244}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269PubMed:19015244}. Note=Translocates to plasma membrane upon ultraviolet exposure.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in scirrhous-type gastric cancer tissues compared with normal gastric mucosa (at protein level). {ECO:0000269PubMed:14585507, ECO:0000269PubMed:19015244}.
