Function |
Involved in the uptake of thrombin-antithrombin complexes by hepatic cells (By similarity). When phosphorylated, plays a role in filament reorganization. Involved in the delivery of mutated CFTR to the plasma membrane. Together with KRT8, is involved in interleukin-6 (IL-6)-mediated barrier protection. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15529338, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16424149, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17213200, ECO:0000269|PubMed:7523419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8522591, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9298992, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9524113}.

Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Nucleus, nucleolus.

Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in colon, placenta, liver and very weakly in exocervix. Increased expression observed in lymph nodes of breast carcinoma. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17213200, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2422083, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2434380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2434381}.
