APXL
May be involved in endothelial cell morphology changes during cell spreading. In the retinal pigment epithelium, may regulate the biogenesis of melanosomes and promote their association with the apical cell surface by inducing gamma-tubulin redistribution. Belongs to the shroom family. Abundant in retina and melanoma; also in brain, placenta, lung, kidney and pancreas. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
