| Function |
Signaling adapter molecule involved in p75NTR/NGFR signaling. Plays a role in cell cycle progression and neuronal differentiation. Inhibits neuronal differentiation in response to nerve growth factor (NGF). May act as a link between the cell cycle and neurotrophic factor signaling, possibly by functioning as an upstream modulator of receptor signaling, coordinating biological responses to external signals with internal cellular states (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Note=Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in central nervous system, with high level in pituitary, cerebellum and temporal lobe. Expressed in lung, skeletal muscle, peripheral blood leukocyte, stomach, lymph node, trachea and bone marrow. Highly expressed in acute myeloid leukemia. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11989783, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15920485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15958283}.
