Protein attributes

Sequence length	180 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function	May play a synaptic role at the postsynaptic lipid rafts by interacting with CAMK2A By similarity.
Subunit structure	Interacts with CAMK2A By similarity.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm. Membrane. Note: Postsynaptic lipid rafts By similarity. Ref.1
Tissue specificity	Expressed by neural and hematopoietic cells. Expression is found both in normal early progenitor cells and in the most immature type of blasts in acute leukemia but not in mature hematopoietic cells. Isoform 2 and isoform 6 are expressed in the brain. Isoform 2 shows a low expression in neuroectoderm-derived tissues such as adrenal gland and no expression in bone marrow, peripheral blood lymphocytes or lymph nodes, or in tumors or cancer cell lines of nonneural tissue origin. Ref.1
Post-translational modification	Palmitoylation and myristoylation target the protein to the lipid rafts By similarity.
