Participates in the regulation of systemic glucose homeostasis, where it negatively regulates insulin granule biogenesis in pancreatic islet beta cells (By similarity). Also regulates glucagon granule production in pancreatic alpha cells (By similarity). Inhibits nuclear translocation of the transcriptional coregulator PHB2 and may enhance estrogen receptor alpha (ESR1) transcriptional activity in breast cancer cells .
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic vesicle, Secretory vesicle, Cytoplasmic vesicle, Secretory vesicle membrane
Expressed in breast cancer cell lines. Not expressed in normal tissues such as duct, mammary gland, lung, heart, liver, kidnay, bone marrow.
