The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein that is required for cell cycle progression and survival in primary astrocytes and may be involved in the regulation of mitogenic signalling in vascular smooth muscles cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms.[provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011] Expression Biased expression in brain (RPKM 109.2), heart (RPKM 62.3) and 4 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
