Facts about Microtubule-associated protein 6.
Involved in dendrite morphogenesis and maintenance by regulating lysosomal trafficking through its interaction with TMEM106B (PubMed:24357581). Regulates KIF5A-mediated axonal freight transport (By similarity).

Expressed in brain (at protein level). Expressed in spinal cord. Isoform 2 expression is up-regulated in the prefrontal cortex (Brodmann's area 46) of patients with schizophrenia (postmortem brain study).
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Golgi apparatus. Cell projection, axon. Cell projection, dendrite. Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle membrane; Lipid-anchor; Cytoplasmic side. Localizes predominantly in the proximal part of the axon (By similarity). Preferentially is concentrated on a portion of the microtubule polymer in which tubulin is modified by detyrosination and acetylation and is also resistant to depolymerization induced by both nocodazole and cold (By similarity). In unpolarized neurons, localizes to the Golgi and to secretory vesicles accumulating transiently at the tips of a subset of
