DESCRIPTION

Also known as TULP1_HUMAN, TULP1, TUBL1. Required for normal development of photoreceptor synapses. Required for normal photoreceptor function and for long-term survival of photoreceptor cells. Interacts with cytoskeleton proteins and may play a role in protein transport in photoreceptor cells (By similarity). Binds lipids, especially phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate, phosphatidylinositol 3, 4-bisphosphate, phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate, phosphatidylinositol 3, 4, 5-bisphosphate, phosphatidylserine and phosphatidic acid (in vitro). Contribute to stimulation of phagocytosis of apoptotic retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and macrophages. Homodimer (Probable). May interact with ABCF1, PSIP1, ZEB1 and HMGB2 (Potential). Interacts with DNM1 (By similarity). Interacts with F-actin. Interacts with TUB (By similarity). Interacts with TYRO3 (By similarity).
