    text
  • colocalizes to the centrosomes and midbodies in mitotic cells with gamma-tubulin, MKLP1, and p80 katanin
  • centrosomal localization independent of microtubules and was preferential to mother centrioles
  • basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a negative regulation of cell cycle
  • involved in the regulation of cell growth whose loss of function contribute to the development of cancer
  • alters cell proliferation by regulating cytokinesis
  • pluripotent tumor suppressor linked to the inhibition of katanin-mediated microtubule severing
  • participates in cytokinesis by interacting with KATNB1, the disruption of which may potentially cause genetic instability and cancer
  • may be involved in the control of cell migration via the regulation of microtubule release from the centrosomes
  • beta-catenin-interacting protein that can modulate beta-catenin signaling and localization
  • putative cytokinetic tumor suppressor that binds directly to SHANK3 and is a novel postsynaptic density component
  • functions as a novel CTNNB-interacting protein and represses CTNNB-mediated transcription on T-cell factor/lymphoid enhancing factor
  • a critical role in renal development and is a critical regulator of CTNNB-mediated nephrogenesis
