cofactor:Calcium.,function:May mediate accelerated ATP-independent bidirectional transbilayer migration of phospholipids upon binding calcium ions that results in a loss of phospholipid asymmetry in the plasma membrane. May play a central role in the initiation of fibrin clot formation, in the activation of mast cells and in the recognition of apoptotic and injured cells by the reticuloendothelial system.,function:May play a role in the antiviral response of interferon (IFN) by amplifying and enhancing the IFN response through increased expression of select subset of potent antiviral genes. May contribute to cytokine-regulated cell proliferation and differentiation.,induction:By phosphorylation by PKC. Induced by INFB1 in response to a viral infection.,online information:Scramblase entry,PTM:Known to be palmitoylated at one, yet undefined, site.,similarity:Belongs to the phospholipid scramblase family.,subunit:Interacts with ABL.,tissue specificity:Expressed in platelets, erythrocyte membranes, lymphocytes, spleen, thymus, prostate, testis, uterus, intestine, colon, heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas. Not detected in brain and skeletal muscle.,
Cell membrane ; Single-pass type II membrane protein . Cell membrane ; Lipid-anchor ; Cytoplasmic side. Nucleus . Cytoplasm . Cytoplasm, perinuclear region . Localizes to the perinuclear region in the presence of RELT (PubMed:22052202). Palmitoylation regulates its localization to the cell membrane or the nucleus; trafficking to the cell membrane is dependent upon palmitoylation whereas in the absence of palmitoylation, localizes to the nucleus (PubMed:12564925). .
