Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with highest levels in brain. Broadly distributed throughout the neonate brain but restricted mainly to ependymary cells in the adult brain where it is concentrated in the cilia. |
Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation by PAK1 is required for normal function. Ubiquitinated in the presence of GAN which targets it for degradation by the proteasome. |
Function | Binds to alpha-tubulin folding intermediates after their interaction with cytosolic chaperonin in the pathway leading from newly synthesized tubulin to properly folded heterodimer. Involved in regulation of tubulin heterodimer dissociation. May function as a negative regulator of axonal growth. |
