Protein Structure

Function

Microtubule-associated protein involved in membrane protein-cytoskeleton interactions. It is thought to anchor the inhibitory glycine receptor (GLYR) to subsynaptic microtubules (By similarity). Catalyzes two steps in the biosynthesis of the molybdenum cofactor. In the first step, molybdopterin is adenylated. Subsequently, molybdate is inserted into adenylated molybdopterin and AMP is released. {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Note=Cytoplasmic face of glycinergic postsynaptic membranes. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Molybdenum cofactor deficiency, complementation group C (MOCODC) [MIM:615501]: A form of molybdenum cofactor deficiency, an autosomal recessive metabolic disorder leading to the pleiotropic loss of molybdoenzyme activities. It is clinically characterized by onset in infancy of poor feeding, intractable seizures, severe psychomotor retardation, and death in early childhood in most patients. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11095995, ECO:0000269PubMed:22040219}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
