UniProt functional annotation for Q9NVD7

UniProt code: Q9NVD7.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Plays a role in sarcomere organization and in smooth muscle cell contraction. Required for normal development of the embryonic cardiovascular system, and for normal septation of the heart outflow tract. Plays a role in sprouting angiogenesis and is required for normal adhesion of vascular smooth muscle cells to endothelial cells during blood vessel development (By similarity). Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, formation of lamellipodia and ciliogenesis. Plays a role in the establishment of cell polarity, cell adhesion, cell spreading, and directed cell migration. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11134073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11331308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15284246, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20393563}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with TGFB1I1 (By similarity). Interacts with LIMS1 (via LD motifs) (PubMed:11331308). Interacts with ARHGAP31 (PubMed:16860736). Interacts with the actin cytoskeleton (PubMed:11331308). Interacts (via C-terminus) with ILK (PubMed:11331308, PubMed:15284246, PubMed:15817463, PubMed:20005845). Interacts (via C-terminus) with TESK1 (via C-terminus); the interaction inhibits TESK1 kinase activity (PubMed:15817463). Interacts with PXN/PAXILLIN (via LD motif 4) (PubMed:15817463, PubMed:18508764, PubMed:18940607). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9EPC1, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11331308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15284246, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15817463, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16860736, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18508764, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18940607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20005845}.
Subcellular location: Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line {ECO:0000250}. Note=Constituent of focal adhesions. Associates with the actin cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed, with highest levels in heart, skeletal muscle, kidney and liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11134073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11331308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11722847}.
Similarity: Belongs to the parvin family. {ECO:0000305}.
