TissueNA
Tissue SpecificityExpressed in kidney and brain. In the kidney, expressed in glomeruli, most probably in podocytes, and in tubules (at protein level). In the brain, expressed in the cerebellum, with high levels in Purkinje cells and their projecting axons, in the deep cerebellar nuclei and in pyramidal neurons of the cerebral cortex (at protein level). In the white matter, mainly present in astrocytes, but not in oligodendrocytes (at protein level). Also highly expressed in endothelial cells of cerebral capillaries (at protein level). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466283}.

Subcellular location [CC]Cytoplasm, cytosol. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466283}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466283}. Cleavage furrow {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466283}. Note=During interphase, located in the cytosol. During mitosis, accumulates at the spindle poles and microtubule asters and later in the cleavage furrow. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:25466283}.
