Can insert into membranes and form poorly selective ion channels that may also transport chloride ions. Channel activity depends on the pH. Membrane insertion seems to be redox-regulated and may occur only under oxydizing conditions. Promotes cell-surface expression of HRH3. Has alternate cellular functions like a potential role in angiogenesis or in maintaining apical-basolateral membrane polarity during mitosis and cytokinesis. Could also promote endothelial cell proliferation and regula

Acts as a negative mediator of apoptosis and may play a role in tumor progression. Suppresses the TNF-mediated apoptosis by inhibiting caspase-8 activity but not the processing of procaspase-8, subsequently resulting in inhibition of BID cleavage and caspase-3 activation.$nExpressed at high levels in the spleen, lymph node, thymus, thyroid, bone marrow and placenta. Expressed at high levels both in various tumor tissues, unstimulated and cytokine-activated cultured cells. Expressed at low l

The ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) family of small GTP-binding proteins are involved in vesicular transport regulation and in controlling cytoskeletal organization and cell adhesion. These proteins mainly regulate membrane traffic. ACAP2 is a member of the centaurin GTPase-activating protein (GAP) family, which comprises a subset of ARF regulatory molecules that transduce PI 3-kinase activation into coordinated control of ARF-dependent pathways. ACAP1 and ACAP2 are both widely expressed in pe

The protein encoded by this gene is a DNA N-glycosylase of the endonuclease III family. Like a similar protein in E. coli, the encoded protein has DNA glycosylase activity on DNA substrates containing oxidized pyrimidine residues and has apurinic/apyrimidinic lyase activity.

Myosin Ib is a motor protein that is involved in cell migration, neurite outgrowth and vesicular transport. In multivesicular endosomes, Myosin Ib has been implicated in protein cargo traffic control.
