| Function |
May play a role in early endosome fusion upstream of RAB5, hence regulating receptor trafficking and fluid-phase transport. Enhances cellular sensitivity to TNF-induced apoptosis (PubMed:18288467). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18288467, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19995552, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22816767}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Early endosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Endoplasmic reticulum. Note=Colocalizes with EEA1 and RAB5 at endosomal membrane fusion hot spots. May translocate to the endoplasmic reticulum in the early phase of apoptosis (PubMed:18288467). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18288467}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in placenta, ovary and small intestine, as well as in heart and pancreas. Also expressed in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and dendritic cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18288467}.
