    text
  • in prostate epithelial cells detected the protein in the cytoplasm in interphase and colocalized with tubulin during mitosis
  • present both in the cytosol and nucleus
  • colocalizes with CHFR to the mitotic spindle
  • basic FUNCTION
  • preferentially synthesized in cells during the early growth phase of some types of tumor but which is also expressed in normal cells
  • antiapoptotic protein involved in cell survival and apoptosis regulation
  • Na/K-ATPase-suppressive activity
  • possesses potent anti-apoptotic activity
  • intracellular Ca2+ scavenger, protecting cells against Ca2+-dependent apoptosis by binding and sequestering Ca2+ from the downstream Ca2+-dependent apoptotic pathways
  • involved in TSC22D1 destabilization via their interaction
  • plays a very modest role in thymocyte development, but is critical for peripheral T cell maintenance and TCR-mediated cell proliferation
  • may belong to a novel small molecular weight heat shock protein with chaperone-like activity
  • identified on the surface of nanovesicles purified from medium conditioned by apoptotic endothelial cells, and TCTP-bearing nanovesicles are a novel component of the paracrine apoptotic program of potential importance in vascular repair
  • survival factor that protects cancer cells from oxidative stress-induced cell-death
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, antiapoptosis

    bind Ca2+ (must bind Ca2+ in order to protect cells against Ca2+-dependent apoptosis)
    protein
  • EEF1D
  • interacting with TSC22D1
  • binding to dihydroartemisinin (DHA)
  • interacting with STEAP3
  • interacts with RHEB and activates the MTOR pathway
  • possible CHFR-interacting partner (CHFR-TPT1 interaction is stable throughout the cell cycle, but it could be diminished by the complete depolymerization of the microtubules, providing a possible mechanism where CHFR could be the sensor that detects microtubule disruption and then activates the prophase checkpoint)
