Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Contributes to the regulation of the Wnt signaling pathway. Down-regulates CTNNB1-mediated transcriptional activation of target genes, such as CCND1, and may thereby act as tumor suppressor. May be involved in dendritic cell and neuron differentiation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269PubMed:14985363, ECO:0000269PubMed:16520977}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, growth cone {ECO:0000250}. Note=In neurons, seems to concentrate at axonal growth cone. Perinuclear in neurons (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed at highest levels in brain, heart and liver, and at lower levels in kidney, colon, skeletal muscle, adrenal gland, ovary and uterus (at protein level). {ECO:0000269PubMed:15461589, ECO:0000269PubMed:16520977, ECO:0000269PubMed:21636852}.
