Background
This gene is a member of the N-myc downregulated gene family which belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily. The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic protein that may play a role in neurite outgrowth. This gene may be involved in glioblastoma carcinogenesis. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
developmental stage:Specifically expressed during dendritic cell differentiation (in vitro). Expression is low in fetal brain and increases during brain postnatal development.,disease:Found in pathological brain lesions of Alzheimer disease.,disease:Not expressed or strongly down-regulated in various cancer types, such as astrocytoma, meningioma, liver cancer and pancreatic cancer.,function:May be involved in dendritic cell and neuron differentiation. May have anti-tumor activity.,similarity:Belongs to the NDRG family.,subcellular location:Perinuclear in neurons.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and salivary gland, and moderately in kidney and liver. Expressed in dendritic cells, but not in other blood cells. Generally not expressed in tumor cell lines. Isoforms 1 and 2 are present in brain neurons and up-regulated in Alzheimer disease (at protein leve

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region. Cell projection, growth cone . In neurons, seems to concentrate at axonal growth cone. Perinuclear in neurons (By similarity). .
Tissue expression
Highly expressed in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and salivary gland, and moderately in kidney and liver. Expressed in dendritic cells, but not in other blood cells. Expression levels are low in pancreatic and liver cancer tissues; absent in meningioma. Expressed in low-grade gliomas but present at low levels in glioblastoma. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are present in brain neurons and up-regulated in Alzheimer disease (at protein level).
