basic FUNCTION
| play an important role in the polyglutamylation of primary cilia |
|
key initiator of polyglutamylation in alpha-tubulin |
|
essential for the correct function of sperm flagella |
|
has no unique function for ciliary stability or beating in brain ependymal cilia |
|
might be responsible for the tubulin polyglutamination in the microtubule triplets of the centrioles, increasing the centriole stability |
|
physiological function in several settings is to modify cell growth rates in a manner that can be independent of steroid hormones |
|
has polyglutamylation activity, augments the activity of p160 coactivators (NCOA1 and NCOA2) in glucocorticoid receptor-regulated gene induction and repression, and displays steroid-independent growth activity with several cell types |
|
participate in a unique, tissue-selective TTLL-mediated pathway for alpha-tubulin polyglutamylation that is required for sperm maturation and motility and may be relevant for male fertility |
