CLIP3, CLIPR59, CAP-Gly domain-containing linker protein 3, Cytoplasmic linker protein 170-related 59 kDa protein, CLIP-170-related 59 kDa protein, CLIPR-59
This gene encodes a member of the cytoplasmic linker protein 170 family. Members of this protein family contain a cytoskeleton-associated protein glycine-rich domain and mediate the interaction of microtubules with cellular organelles. The encoded protein plays a role in T cell apoptosis by facilitating the association of tubulin and the lipid raft ganglioside GD3. The encoded protein also functions as a scaffold protein mediating membrane localization of phosphorylated protein kinase B. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010],domain:Microtubule association is inhibited by the ANK repeats and the Golgi localization region (GoLD).,function:Functions as a cytoplasmic linker protein. Involved in TGN-endosome dynamics.,miscellaneous:The N-terminal half is dispensable for proper Golgi targeting, whereas the GoLD region is required.,similarity:Contains 2 CAP-Gly domains.,similarity:Contains 3 ANK repeats.,subcellular location:Localized to Golgi stacks as well as on tubulovesicular elements juxtaposed to Golgi cisternae.,subunit:Homodimer.,
