Function |
Plays a role in the regulation of the epidermis formation during early development. Required both as an inhibitor of basal cell proliferation and a promoter of differentiation of basal progenitor cell progeny (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction {ECO:0000250}. Note=Localized at cell borders in single layered keratinocytes. Localized at cell borders in the basal and spinous layers but is more diffusely localized in the granular layer. Colocalized with actin near the cell membrane, especially in cellular protrusions (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
