    text
  • putative type II membrane protein
  • located at both nucleus and cytoplasm
  • basic FUNCTION
  • potentially involved in apoptosis of neuronal cells
  • NCKAP1 inhibit likely cells from entering G2/M phase
  • regulates neuronal cytoskeletal dynamics and is essential for neuronal differentiation in the developing brain
  • might have a cell-type-specific function in the development of neocortex
  • is likely essential for neuronal mechanical changes in the cytoskeleton, which are essential for accurate timing during post-migratory differentiation
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis

    protein
  • NCK associated
  • NCKAP1 is a cell invasion promoter by binding to WASF1, but also a tumor suppress gene that modulates the cell cycle of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines by targeting RB1/TP53 regulation
  • NCKAP1 interacts directly with CYFIP2
  • NCKAP1 binds to TMEM132D
  • TMEM132 family proteins may regulate NCKAP1 in WAVE regulatory complex (WRC) to finely modulate actin nucleation, cellular cytoskeletal and morphological changes
