Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {Experimental EvidencePubMed:14517216}. Basolateral cell membrane {Experimental EvidencePubMed:14517216}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {Experimental EvidencePubMed:14517216}. Note=Colocalized on microtubules. An intracellular redistribution is triggered during induction of keratinocyte terminal differentiation from microtubules with a perinuclear localization to cortical microtubules organized in spike- like bundles facing intercellular contacts.
Microtubule-stabilizing protein that may play an important role during reorganization of microtubules during polarization and differentiation of epithelial cells. Associates with microtubules in a dynamic manner. May play a role in the formation of intercellular contacts. Colocalization with TRPV4 results in the redistribution of TRPV4 toward the membrane and may link cytoskeletal microfilaments. {Experimental EvidencePubMed:14517216}.
