Function |
A scaffold protein that directs CASP3 to certain substrates and facilitates their ordered degradation during apoptosis. May also play a role in mediating CASP3 cleavage of KRT18. Regulates degradation of intermediate filaments during apoptosis. May play a role in the general transcription machinery in the nucleus and might be an important regulator of the activity of GTF3C3. Inhibits DNA transcription in vitro (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Nucleus, nucleolus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Translocated to the nucleus during CD95-mediated apoptosis where it is localized in the nucleoli (By similarity). Following apoptosis induction, the mono and/or diubiquitination form increases and forms filamentous structures that colocalize with KRT8 and KRT18 intermediate filament network in simple epithelial cells. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed with highest levels in testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9832420}.
