    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text in neurons, distributed in the plasma membrane and induces filopodia as well as axon elongation and growthb (Broggini 2010)
    basic FUNCTION
  • induces filopodia growth independently of CDC42 (Broggini 2010)
  • impedes brain injury-associated growth inhibitory signals upstream of the RhoA-Rho kinase pathway (Broggini 2010)
  • promotes spine formation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • PLPPR5 interacts with phosphorylated phosphatidylinositols, phospholipids involved in dendritic spine formation by different lipid-protein assays
  • new functional cooperation between PLPPR family members and discovered for the first time that PLPPRs likely exert their function through forming complex with its family members
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other regulated during brain and spinal cord development and is exclusively allocated within the nervous system (Broggini 2010)
