Function: Microtubule-associated protein that mediates aggregation of mitochondria resulting in cell death and genomic destruction (MAGD). Plays a role in anchoring the microtubule organizing center to the centrosomes. Binds to DNA. Plays a role in apoptosis. Involved in the formation of microtubule bundles (By similarity).
Cellular location: Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Note=Detected in filopodia-like protrusions and synapses (By similarity). Detected in perinuclear punctate network corresponding to mitochondrial aggregates and in the nucleus in cells exhibiting apoptosis. Associated specifically with microtubules stabilized by paclitaxel and colocalizes with RASSF1 isoform A. In interphase cells, shows a diffuse cytoplasmic staining with partial localization to the microtubules. During the different stages of mitosis detected at the spindle microtubules.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in neurons (at protein level). Expressed in spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoa. Expressed in the cerebral cortex. Highly expressed in testis. Moderately expressed in the brain, colon, heart, kidney, liver, lung, placenta, small intestine, spleen and stomach. Weakly expressed in muscle.
