UniProt functional annotation for Q9HB21

UniProt code: Q9HB21.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Binds specifically to phosphatidylinositol 3,4-diphosphate (PtdIns3,4P2), but not to other phosphoinositides. May recruit other proteins to the plasma membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11001876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11513726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14516276}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with MPDZ and PTPN13. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11802782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14516276}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11802782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12101241}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11802782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12101241}; Peripheral membrane protein. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11802782, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12101241}. Note=Locates to the plasma membrane after treatments that stimulate the production of PtdIns3,4P2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11802782}.
Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, thymus, pancreas, placenta and lung. Detected at low levels in brain, heart, peripheral blood leukocytes, testis, ovary, spinal cord, thyroid, kidney, liver, small intestine and colon. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11001876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12101241}.
Domain: Binds to membranes enriched in PtdIns3,4P2 via the C-terminal PH domain.
