| Function | Involved in the planar cell polarity pathway that controls convergent extension during gastrulation and neural tube closure. Convergent extension is a complex morphogenetic process during which cells elongate, move mediolaterally, and intercalate between neighboring cells, leading to convergence toward the mediolateral axis and extension along the anteroposterior axis. Necessary for nuclear localization of REST. May serve as nuclear receptor. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21901791}. |
| Subcellular Location | Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14645515}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14645515}. Note=A smaller amount is detected in the cytosol. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed at highest levels in placenta and at lower levels in lung, liver, kidney and pancreas. Expressed in thalamus, hippocampus, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum (in neurons rather than glia). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12525887, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14645515, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18976727}. |
