Summary: Enables GTP-dependent protein binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in cell-cell junction maintenance and positive regulation of protein secretion. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of protein phosphorylation. Located in bicellular tight junction; cell cortex; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including 2-cell stage conceptus; brain; genitourinary system; gut; and lung. Orthologous to human PARD6A (par-6 family cell polarity regulator alpha).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1. This results in a shorter protein (isoform 2), compared to isoform 1.
