Facts about Protein unc-119 homolog A.
Binds myristoylated GNAT1 and is needed for G-protein localization and trafficking in sensory neurons. Probably plays a role in trafficking proteins in photoreceptor cells.

Abundantly expressed in retina, in photoreceptor synapses and inner segments. Expressed in a much lesser extent in several other tissues.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Localizes to the centrosome in interphase cells and begins to translocate from the spindle pole to the spindle midzone after the onset of mitosis; it then localizes to the intercellular bridge in telophase cells and to the midbody in cytokinetic cells.
