Seems to be involved in regulation of apoptosis. May be involved in detachment-mediated programmed cell death. May mediate apoptosis during neuronal development. May be involved in regulation of anti-apoptotic effects of IGF1. May be involved in translational regulation.
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Cytoplasmic vesicle, Nucleus, Nucleolus
Colocalizes with intracellular vesicles.
Widely expressed with highest levels in pancreas. Strongly expressed by benign melanocytic nevi, and progressively reduced expressed in primary and metastatic melanomas (at protein level).
