Function | Plays a role in lysosomes movement and localization at the cell periphery acting as an effector of ARL8B. Required for ARL8B to exert its effects on lysosome location, recruits kinesin-1 to lysosomes and hence direct their movement toward microtubule plus ends. Binding to ARL8B provides a link from lysosomal membranes to plus-end-directed motility (PubMed:28325809, PubMed:22172677, PubMed:25898167, PubMed:24088571). Critical factor involved in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Drives the polarization of cytolytic granules and microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) toward the immune synapse between effector NK lymphocytes and target cells (PubMed:24088571). Required for maintenance of the Golgi apparatus organization (PubMed:22172677). May play a role in membrane tubulation (PubMed:15905402). |

Background
PLEKHM2 Antibody: PLEKHM2, also known as SKIP, is a member of the M family of Pleckstrin homology domain-containing proteins. While little is known of PLEKHM2, a recent study examining differential gene expression in human hematopoietic stem cells has shown it to be specifically expressed in stem cells, suggesting that PLEKHM2 may play a role in erythroid commitment and development. Other studies have shown that PLEKHM2 is required for interaction with the Salmonella virulence factor SifA for Salmonella pathogenesis, suggesting that PLEKHM2 has cellular roles other than in the developing embryo.
