MTUS1 microtubule associated scaffold protein 1

Gene ID: 57509, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: ATBP; ATIP; ICIS; MP44; ATIP3; MTSG1

Summary

This gene encodes a protein which contains a C-terminal domain able to interact with the angiotension II (AT2) receptor and a large coiled-coil region allowing dimerization. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. One of the transcript variants has been shown to encode a mitochondrial protein that acts as a tumor suppressor and partcipates in AT2 signaling pathways. Other variants may encode nuclear or transmembrane proteins but it has not been determined whether they also participate in AT2 signaling pathways. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
