TCAF1 binds to and promotes trafficking of the TRPM8 cold sensor channel to the cell surface, it contains a PI3K homology domain in its C-terminal tail that modifies TRPM8 gating properties and seems to facilitate channel opening, as assessed by menthol-induced response. Overexpression leads to a reduction in both the speed and directionality of migration of prostate cancer cells.

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.

mRNA and Protein(s)

NM_001206938.2 → NP_001193867.2 TRPM8 channel-associated factor 1 isoform 2

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses a different splice site in the 3' coding region, which results in the use of an early stop codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 2) has a shorter C-terminus when it is compared to isoform 1.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) has several differences in its 5' UTR, one of which results in the use of a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting protein (isoform 3) has a shorter N-terminus when it is compared to isoform 1.
