High impact information on MPP6

  • Pals2 was found to exist in two splice forms of 539 and 553 amino acids and maps to mouse chromosome 6 [1].
  • Our results therefore suggest that VAM-1 may function by promoting the assembly of a Veli-1 containing protein complex in neuronal as well as epithelial cells [2].
  • VAM-1 mRNA was abundant in human testis, brain, and kidney with lower levels detectable in other tissues [2].
  • The complete cDNA sequence of VAM-1, tissue distribution of its mRNA, genomic structure, chromosomal localization, and Veli-1 binding properties are presented [2].
 

Other interactions of MPP6

  • VAM-1: a new member of the MAGUK family binds to human Veli-1 through a conserved domain [2].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of MPP6

  • Here, we demonstrate that M-phase phosphoprotein 6 (MPP6), a protein reported previously to co-purify with the TAP-tagged human exosome, accumulates in the nucleoli of HEp-2 cells and associates with a subset of nuclear exosomes as evidenced by co-immunoprecipitation and biochemical fractionation experiments [3].
