Function
Negatively regulates signaling through the G-protein coupled thromboxane A2 receptor (TBXA2R). May be involved in mechanisms like programmed cell death, craniofacial development, patterning of the limbs, and formation of the left-right axis (By similarity). Involved in the organization of apical junctions in kidney cells together with NPHP1 and NPHP4 (By similarity). Does not seem to be strictly required for ciliogenesis.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Human Protein fantom
Subcellular Location
Cytoplasm Cytoplasm cytoskeleton cilium basal body Cytoplasm cytoskeleton cilium axoneme Cytoplasm cytoskeleton centrosome Cell junction tight junction In cultured renal cells, it localizes diffusely in the cytoplasm but, as cells approach confluence, it accumulates to basolateral tight junctions.
Interacts with NPHP4 in a complex containing NPHP1, NPHP4 and RPGRIP1L/NPHP8. Interacts with TBXA2R (via C-terminus). Interacts with IQCB1; the interaction likely requires additional interactors.
