    basic FUNCTION
  • play a role in cell differentiation in the epithelium
  • acting as an ion transmembrane transporter
  • critical function to PLP2 for viral ligase activity
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, differentiation
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
  • chemotaxis
  • cytokine and chemokine mediated signaling pathway
  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • PLP2 (multimerize)
  • chemokine
  • physically interacting with CCT
  • CCR1
  • PLP2 binds specifically to PI3K, thus activating AKT1, and aids metastasis
  • PLP2 and RAB5C are novel TPD52 binding partners
  • cell & other
