Overexpressed in hepatomas and colonic tumors. Also expressed in skeletal muscle, brain, heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas. Expression is elevated in the brain; highly expressed in the Purkinje cell bodies of the cerebellum.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Detected on centrosomes and kinetochores during interphase and mitosis independently from TACC3 and clathrin. Located to spindle poles and microtubules during mitosis. In complex with TACC3 localized to microtubule plus-ends in mitosis and interphase. In complex with TACC3 and clathrin localized to inter-microtubule bridges in mitotic spindles. Accumulation sites at microtubule plus ends protruded approximately 100 nm
