UniProt functional annotation for P78406

UniProt code: P78406.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Plays a role in mitotic bipolar spindle formation (PubMed:17172455). Binds mRNA. May function in nucleocytoplasmic transport and in directly or indirectly attaching cytoplasmic mRNPs to the cytoskeleton. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17172455}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with NUMA1 (via N-terminal end of the coiled-coil domain); this interaction promotes spindle formation in mitosis (PubMed:17172455). Interacts with NUP98 (PubMed:20498086). Interacts with MYCBP2 (PubMed:22357847). Interacts with USP11 (PubMed:29293652). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17172455, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20498086, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22357847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:29293652}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9256445}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9256445}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17172455}. Note=Recruited from interphase nuclei to spindle MTs during mitosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17172455}.
Similarity: Belongs to the WD repeat rae1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
