Facts about Nischarin.
Its activation by the agonist rilmenidine induces an increase in phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinases MAPK1 and MAPK3 in rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM) neurons that exhibited rilmenidine-evoked hypotension (By similarity). Acts as a modulator of Rac-regulated signal transduction pathways (By similarity).

Isoform 1, isoform 3 and isoform 4 are expressed in brain. Isoform 1 is expressed in endocrine tissues.
Cell membrane. Cytoplasm. Early endosome. Recycling endosome. Enriched in the early/sorting and recycling endosomes. Colocalized in early/sorting endosomes with EEA1 and SNX2 and in recycling endosomes with transferrin receptor. Detected in the perinuclear region partially associated with punctate structures (By similarity). Colocalizes with PAK1 in cytoplasm, vesicular structures in the perinuclear area and membrane ruffles (By similarity). Colocalizes with RAC1 in the cytoplasm and vesicles structures (By similarity). Colocalized with MAPK1 and MAPK3 in RVLM neurons (By similarity).
