Background
septin 4(SEPT4) Homo sapiens This gene is a member of the septin family of nucleotide binding proteins, originally described in yeast as cell division cycle regulatory proteins. Septins are highly conserved in yeast, Drosophila, and mouse, and appear to regulate cytoskeletal organization. Disruption of septin function disturbs cytokinesis and results in large multinucleate or polyploid cells. This gene is highly expressed in brain and heart. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. One of the isoforms (known as ARTS) is distinct; it is localized to the mitochondria, and has a role in apoptosis and cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010],
Function
function:Involved in cytokinesis .,similarity:Belongs to the septin family.,subcellular location:Only observed in tumor tissue cells.,subunit:May assemble into a multicomponent structure.,tissue specificity:Expressed ubiquitously in adult and fetal tissues with particularly high expression in adult heart, liver and adrenal gland and fetal heart, kidney, liver and lung. Also expressed in colorectal cancer and malignant melanoma samples.,

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Cell projection, cilium, flagellum . Cytoplasmic vesicle, secretory vesicle . Cell projection, axon . Cell projection, dendrite . Perikaryon . Cell junction, synapse . In platelets, found in areas surrounding alpha-granules (PubMed:15116257). Found in the sperm annulus, a fibrous ring structure connecting the midpiece and the principal piece of the sperm flagellum (PubMed:25588830). Expressed and colocalized with SLC6A3 and SNCA in axon terminals, especially at the varicosities (By similarity). .; [Isoform ARTS]: Mitochondrion . Nucleus . While predominantly localized in the mitochondria under resting conditions, translocates into the nucleus after TGF-beta treatment and apoptosis induction. .
Tissue expression
Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues with highest expression in adult brain (at protein level), heart, liver and adrenal gland and fetal heart, kidney, liver and lung. Expressed in presynaptic terminals of dopaminergic neurons projecting from the substantia nigra pars compacta to the striatum (at protein level) (PubMed:17296554). Expressed in axonal varicosities in dopaminergic nerve terminals (at protein level) (PubMed:17296554). Expressed in the putamen and in the adjacent cerebral cortex (at protein level) (PubMed:17296554). Expressed in colonic crypts (at protein level) (PubMed:30389919). Also expressed in colorectal cancers and malignant melanomas. Expressed in platelets. ; [Isoform ARTS]: Highly expressed in the brain and heart.
