| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated. Isoform 2 is phosphorylated in T cells. Chemokine-induced phosphorylation of isoform 2 in neutrophils occurs in a PKC- and AKT-dependent manner, resulting in RIPOR2 interaction with YWHAB and stabilization. Isoform 2 is phosphorylated by PKCA, AKT1 and MAPKAPK1A.in vitro. Acetylated during myogenic differentiation. |
| Function | Acts as an inhibitor of the small GTPase RHOA and plays several roles in the regulation of myoblast and hair cell differentiation, lymphocyte T proliferation and neutrophil polarization. Inhibits chemokine-induced T lymphocyte responses, such as cell adhesion, polarization and migration. Involved also in the regulation of neutrophil polarization, chemotaxis and adhesion. Required for normal development of inner and outer hair cell stereocilia within the cochlea of the inner ear. Plays a role for maintaining the structural organization of the basal domain of stereocilia. Involved in mechanosensory hair cell function. Required for normal hearing. Isoform 2: Acts as an inhibitor of the small GTPase RHOA. Plays a role in fetal mononuclear myoblast differentiation by promoting filopodia and myotube formation. Maintains naive T lymphocytes in a quiescent state. |
