Summary
Enables microtubule plus-end binding activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus; mitotic sister chromatid segregation; and regulation of attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochore. Located in several cellular components, including kinetochore; microtubule cytoskeleton; and ruffle. Implicated in actinic keratosis and skin squamous cell carcinoma.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 3' UTR and uses an alternate splice site in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1, that results in a frameshift. The encoded isoform (b) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform a.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) differs in the 3' UTR and lacks an alternate exon in the 3' coding region, which results in a frameshift and an early stop codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (c) has a shorter and distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform a.
