Centriolar protein required for centriole subdistal appendage assembly and microtubule anchoring in interphase cells . Together with CCDC68, cooperate with subdistal appendage components ODF2, NIN and CEP170 for hierarchical subdistal appendage assembly . Recruits NIN and CEP170 to centrosomes . Also required for neurite growth. Localizes CYTH2 to vesicles to allow its transport along neurites, and subsequent ARF6 activation and neurite growth.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole . Cytoplasm . Cell projection, neuron projection . Cell projection, growth cone . Endosome . Localizes to the subdistal appendages of mother centrioles and proximal ends of both centrioles in interphase cells (PubMed:28422092). Recruited to subdistal appendages by ODF2 (PubMed:28422092). In differentiating neuroblastoma cells, colocalizes with CYTH2 in both neurite shaft and growth cone areas (PubMed:25326380). Partially colocalizes with endosomes along neurites in differentiating neuroblastoma cells (PubMed:25326380). .
