    basic FUNCTION
  • may be a marker of basal cell differentiation in complex epithelia and therefore indicative of a certain type of epithelial "stem cells"
  • regulating cell growth through binding to the adaptor protein 14-3-3sigma
  • immunomodulatory role in Hedgehog driven basaloid skin tumors that could impact additional tumor settings, psoriasis and wound repair
