AJAP1
Function
Plays a role in cell adhesion and cell migration.
Post-translational modifications
Thr-237 and Ser-239 may be phosphorylated; however as this position is probably extracellular, the in vivo relevance is not proven.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed in uterus and pancreas (at protein level).
Cellular localization
- Basolateral cell membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
- Apical cell membrane
- Single-pass type I membrane protein
- Cell junction
- Adherens junction
- Mainly basolateral (PubMed:16707570). Localization is mediated by AP1M2 (PubMed:16707570).
