| Tissue Specificity | CNS stem cells. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Constitutively phosphorylated. This increases during mitosis when the cytoplasmic intermediate filament network is reorganized. |
| Function | Required for brain and eye development. Promotes the disassembly of phosphorylated vimentin intermediate filaments (IF) during mitosis and may play a role in the trafficking and distribution of IF proteins and other cellular factors to daughter cells during progenitor cell division. Required for survival, renewal and mitogen-stimulated proliferation of neural progenitor cells. |
