Synonyms | NPRAP |
Function | Has a critical role in neuronal development, particularly in the formation and/or maintenance of dendritic spines and synapses (PubMed:25807484). Involved in the regulation of Wnt signaling (PubMed:25807484). It probably acts on beta-catenin turnover, facilitating beta-catenin interaction with GSK3B, phosphorylation, ubiquitination and degradation (By similarity). Functions as a transcriptional activator when bound to ZBTB33 (By similarity). May be involved in neuronal cell adhesion and tissue morphogenesis and integrity by regulating adhesion molecules. |

Tissue Location | Expressed in brain; highest expression is observed in fetal brain (PubMed:25807484). |

Background
This gene encodes an adhesive junction associated proteinof the armadillo/beta-catenin superfamily and is implicated inbrain and eye development and cancer formation. The protein encodedby this gene promotes the disruption of E-cadherin based adherensjunction to favor cell spreading upon stimulation by hepatocytegrowth factor. This gene is overexpressed in prostateadenocarcinomas and is associated with decreased expression oftumor suppressor E-cadherin in this tissue. This gene resides in aregion of the short arm of chromosome 5 that is deleted in Cri duChat syndrome.
