    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane

    intracellular,cytoplasm
    text localizes to the plasma membrane and to the perinuclear endocytic recycling compartment
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in myelination and in the integrity of the node of Ranvier, a morphological phenotype that can be used as an additional CMT4C diagnostic marker
  • influences transferrin receptor dynamics, consistent with a functional role on the endocytic recycling pathway
  • essential role for the SH3TC2 gene in peripheral nerve myelination

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts preferentially with the GTP-bound form of RAB11, identifying SH3TC2 as a novel RAB11 effector
  • interacts with the small guanosine triphosphatase RAB11A, regulating the recycling of internalized membranes and receptors back to the cell surface (SH3TC2/RAB11A interaction is relevant for peripheral nerve pathophysiology and place endosomal recycling on the list of cellular mechanisms involved in Schwann cell myelination)

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
    Sh3tc2(DeltaEx1/DeltaEx1) mice demonstrated that these animals represent a valid model of CMT4C neuropathy and allowed us to unveil the Sh3tc2 function in the myelination process and in the node of Ranvier integrity
