Function | Functions as a key regulator of cell membrane composition by regulating protein surface expression. Also, plays a role in regulation of processes including cell migration, cell proliferation, cell contraction and cell adhesion. Regulates transepithelial migration of neutrophils into the alveolar lumen, potentially via mediation of cell surface expression of adhesion markers and lipid raft formation (By similarity). Negatively regulates caveolae formation by reducing CAV1 expression and CAV1 amount by increasing lysosomal degradation (PubMed:24814193). Facilitates surface trafficking and formation of lipid rafts bearing GPI-anchor proteins (By similarity). Regulates surface expression of MHC1 and ICAM1 proteins increasing susceptibility to T-cell mediated cytotoxicity (By similarity). Regulates the plasma membrane expression of the integrin heterodimers ITGA6-ITGB1, ITGA5- ITGB3 and ITGA5-ITGB1 resulting in modulation of cell-matrix adhesion (PubMed:16216233). Also regulates many processes through PTK2. Regulates blood vessel endothelial cell migration and angiogenesis by regulating VEGF protein expression through PTK2 activation (PubMed:23439602). Regulates cell migration and cell contraction through PTK2 and SRC activation (PubMed:21637765, PubMed:22728127). Regulates focal adhesion density, F-actin conformation and cell adhesion capacity through interaction with PTK2 (PubMed:19494199). Positively regulates cell proliferation (PubMed:24814193). Plays a role during cell death and cell blebbing (PubMed:12107182). Promotes angiogenesis and vasculogenesis through induction of VEGFA via a HIF1A- dependent pathway (PubMed:23334331). Also plays a role in embryo implantation by regulating surface trafficking of integrin heterodimer ITGA5-ITGB3 (PubMed:16487956). Plays a role in placental angiogenesis and uterine natural killer cell regulation at the maternal-fetal placental interface, however not required in the maternal tissues for a viable pregnancy (By similarity). Involved in the early stages of embryogenic development and cardiogenesis, potentially via regulation of epithelial-mesenchymal transition timing (By similarity). May play a role in glomerular filtration (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Golgi apparatus membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Cell membrane. Apical cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88662}. Membrane raft. Cytoplasm Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q66HH2}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88662}. Note=Localizes in cytoplasm, foot processes and cell bodies of podocytes and nucleus of endothelial cells of kidney. Localizes to the apical cell surface in the luminal epithelium and glandular epithelium. Colocalized with ITGB1 and GPI- anchor proteins on plasma membrane. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:O88662, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q66HH2} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in ciliary body epithelia, sclera, cornea, and retinal pigment epithelium (at protein level) (PubMed:12710941). Expressed in lung and endometrial tissue; expression is particularly abundant in secretory endometrium (at protein level) (PubMed:12710941). Expressed in placental villous syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts and on the membrane of interstitial trophoblasts (at protein level) (PubMed:28295343). |
