Function
Plays a role in mitotic exit and cytokinesis. Recruits PDCD6IP and TSG101 to midbody during cytokinesis. Required for successful completion of cytokinesis.
Biological Context
Subcellular Location: Cytoplasm; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole; Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome; Cleavage furrow; Midbody, Midbody ring; Midbody
Tissue Specificity: Expressed in embryonic brain. Expressed in fetal brain ganglionic eminence, kidney tubules and multinucleate neurons in the temporal cortex. Expressed in adult brain, cerebellum, kidney tubules, intestine and muscles (at protein level). Widely expressed, mostly in proliferative tissues. Highly expressed in testis. Intermediate levels in adult and fetal thymus, as well as in various cancer cell lines. Low levels in different parts of the digestive tract, bone marrow, lymph nodes, placenta, fetal heart and fetal spleen. Hardly detected in brain
Disease Association: Multinucleated neurons, anhydramnios, renal dysplasia, cerebellar hypoplasia and hydranencephaly (MARCH) : An autosomal recessive, congenital disease characterized by severe hydranencephaly with multinucleated neurons, renal aplasia or dysplasia, and hypoplastic kidneys. Hydranencephaly is an anomaly leading to replacement of the cerebral hemispheres with a fluid-filled cyst. MARCH results in death in utero or in the perinatal period. [The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry]
