Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Binds to the plus end of microtubules and regulates microtubule dynamics and microtubule organization. Promotes cytoplasmic microtubule nucleation and elongation. Plays a major role in organizing spindle poles. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12569123, ECO:0000269PubMed:21646404}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000269PubMed:21646404}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269PubMed:21646404}. Note=Detected on centrosomes during interphase. Detected on spindle poles and microtubules during mitosis.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Overexpressed in hepatomas and colonic tumors. Also expressed in skeletal muscle, brain, heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas.
