Binds phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). May play a role in the organization of nuclear PIP2, cell division and cell survival .
Cytoplasm . Nucleus, nucleolus . Nucleus, nucleoplasm . Cell membrane . Nucleus speckle . Associates with intracellular membranes and enriched in the apical region of the cell and in intracellular compartments (PubMed:11102519). Colocalizes with TM4SF1 in the apical region of the cell (PubMed:11102519). Predominantly targeted to nuclear PIP2 pools. Shuttles between several subcellular compartments (PubMed:15961997). PIP2 plays an important role in the distribution of SDCBP2 (PubMed:23300061). .
Preferentially expressed in cells of the digestive tract (PubMed:11102519). Low expression in skeletal muscle and kidney (PubMed:11102519). Detected in differentiated keratinocytes of normal and malignant epithelium (PubMed:22623796). In healthy skin, expression is localized in suprabasal epidermal layers (PubMed:22623796).
