Protein
Transmembrane protein 201
Function
May define a distinct membrane domain in the vicinity of the mitotic spindle. Involved in the organization of the nuclear envelope implicating EMD, SUN1 and A-type lamina. Involved in nuclear movement during fibroblast polarization and migration. Proposed to be involved in actin-dependent nuclear movement via association with transmembrane actin-associated nuclear (TAN) lines which are bound to F-actin cables and couple the nucleus to retrograde actin flow. May recruit Ran GTPase to the nuclear periphery.
Similarity
Belongs to the TMEM201 family.
