|
| Function |
Involved in microtubule stabilization in many cell types, including neuronal cells. Specifically has microtubule cold stabilizing activity. Involved in dendrite morphogenesis and maintenance by regulating lysosomal trafficking via its interaction with TMEM106B. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24357581}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14692697}. Golgi apparatus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Colocalizes with neurofilament (NF)-rich inclusions in spinal chord and brain neurons of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in brain (at protein level). Expressed in spinal chord. Isoform 2 expression is up-regulated in the prefrontal cortex (Brodmann's area 46) of patients with schizophrenia (postmortem brain study). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14692697, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16624526}.
