UniProt functional annotation for O60239

UniProt code: O60239.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Functions as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) with specificity for RAB11A and RAB25 (PubMed:26506309, PubMed:30217979). Inhibits the auto- and transphosphorylation activity of BTK. Plays a negative regulatory role in BTK-related cytoplasmic signaling in B- cells. May be involved in BCR-induced apoptotic cell death. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10339589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26506309, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30217979, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571151}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with BTK (PubMed:9571151, PubMed:10339589). Interacts with all isoforms of MAPK8, MAPK9, MAPK10 and MAPK12 (PubMed:12167088). Interacts with GDP-bound and nucleotide-free forms of RAB11A (PubMed:26506309, PubMed:30217979). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10339589, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167088, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26506309, ECO:0000269|PubMed:30217979, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571151}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30217979}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30217979}. Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12167088}. Note=Colocalizes with RAB11A on cytoplasmic vesicle membranes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30217979}.
Tissue specificity: Highly expressed in testis and ovaries. It is also expressed in a variety of tissues including spleen, lymph node, thymus, bone marrow, fetal liver, colon, small intestine and prostate. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9571151}.
Domain: The N-terminal half of the protein mediates interaction with RAB11A and functions as guanine nucleotide exchange factor. Four long alpha-helices (interrupted by a central kink) assemble into coiled coils, giving rise to a 'V' shape. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:30217979}.
Similarity: Belongs to the SH3BP5 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA25922.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
