Protein function (UniProt)

Microtubule-associated protein RP/EB family member 2

Adapter protein that is involved in microtubule polymerization, and spindle function by stabilizing microtubules and anchoring them at centrosomes. Therefore, ensures mitotic progression and genome stability (PubMed:27030108). Acts as a central regulator of microtubule reorganization in apico-basal epithelial differentiation (By similarity). Plays a role during oocyte meiosis by regulating microtubule dynamics (By similarity). Participates in neurite growth by interacting with plexin B3/PLXNB3 and microtubule reorganization during apico-basal epithelial differentiation (PubMed:22373814). Also plays an essential role for cell migration and focal adhesion dynamics. Mechanistically, recruits HAX1 to microtubules in order to regulate focal adhesion dynamics (PubMed:26527684)
