Associates with microtubules and may play a role in the microtubule-dependent transport of the GABA-B receptor. May play a role in JAK1 signaling and regulate microtubule cytoskeleton rearrangements.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Colocalizes with the microtubule network. Localizes to the cell body and neurites of hippocampal neurons where it accumulates in granules. Localizes to the tail and to a lower extent to the head of sperm cells.
Predominantly expressed in neural tissues and lymphoid cells (at protein level). Isoform 2, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are specifically expressed in brain and retina. Isoform 1 and isoform 5 are also detected in liver, lung and skeletal muscle. Also detected in testis and to a lower extent spleen and intestine.
