Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Involved in the microtubule organization in interphase cells. Overexpression induces the fragmentation of the Golgi, and causes lysosomes to disperse toward the cell periphery; it also interferes with mitotic spindle assembly. May play a role in ovarian carcinogenesis. {ECO:0000269PubMed:12852856, ECO:0000269PubMed:16254247, ECO:0000269PubMed:18538832}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm. Note=In interphase cells, NINL is transported to the centrosomes by the dynein- dynactin motor complex. During centrosome maturation, PLK1 directly phosphorylates NINL resulting in its release into the cytoplasm.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed in KYSE-150 esophageal carcinoma, HeLa cervical carcinoma and U2OS osteosarcoma cells. Expression is regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner and peaks during G2/M phase (at protein level). Expressed in fetal heart, skeletal muscle, liver, lung and cochlea, and in adult brain, testis, kidney and retina. {ECO:0000269PubMed:17403670, ECO:0000269PubMed:18826961}.
