    text
  • type II membrane protein
  • localized to mitochondria
  • basic FUNCTION
  • mediating calcium dependent bidirectional movement between membrane bilayers in injured,activated or apoptotic cells
  • downstream effector of PRKCD in the mitochondria
  • may play a central role in the initiation of fibrin clot formation, in the activation of mast cells and in the recognition of apoptotic and injured cells by the reticuloendothelial system
  • playing an analogous role in signaling and in the cellular response to insulin
  • novel regulator of cardiolipin de novo biosynthesis and its resynthesis
  • transports CL (cardiolipin) from the inner to the outer mitochondrial membrane
  • plays an important role in regulation of mitochondrial morphology, respiratory function, and apoptotic responses
  • playing a role in adipose lipid metabolism
  • facilitate the translocation of aminophospholipids from the inner to the exterior leaf of the cell membrane
  • its expression facilitates changes in mitochondrial membrane lipids that promote the release of apoptogenic factors and consequent full activation and processing of the caspase-9 and effector caspase-3

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule metal binding,
  • Ca2+
  • protein
  • interaction with PRKCD (interacted with and phosphorylated phospholipid scramblase 3 (PLSCR3) after UV irradiation)
  • interacting with TNFSF10 (TNFSF10-induced activation of PKC-delta mediates regulation of the PLSCR3-induced changes in cardiolipin)
  • cell & other
    REGULATION
    Other phosphorylation by PRKCD induces PLSCR3 activation to facilitate mitochondrial targeting of BID and apoptosis
