May help direct the assembly of the nuclear lamina and thereby help maintain the structural organization of the nuclear envelope. Possible receptor for attachment of lamin filaments to the inner nuclear membrane. May be involved in the control of initiation of DNA replication through its interaction with NAKAP95.
Thymopoietin (TP) and Thymopentin (TP5) may play a role in T-cell development and function. TP5 is an immunomodulating pentapeptide.
Subcellular locations: Nucleus inner membrane
Tightly associated with the nuclear lamina.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm
Expressed in many tissues. Most abundant in adult thymus and fetal liver.
