Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a component of the partitioning defective complex, a protein complex involved in controlling epithelial cell polarity as well as other cell processes. In rat testis cells, the protein localizes to the apical ectoplasmic specialization at the Sertoli-elongating spermatid interface and at the blood-testis barrier. Accordingly, knockdown of this gene in Sertoli cell epithelia results in compromised blood-testis barrier integrity. Knockdown of this gene in various neuronal cell types results in a variety of phenotypes including abnormal dendritic spine morphogenesis and defective axon outgrowth to the spinal midline. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2015]

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.
