This gene encodes a cytoskeleton-associated protein which belongs to the TOG/XMAP215 family. The N-terminal half of this protein contains a microtubule-binding domain and the C-terminal half contains a KXGS motif for binding tubulin dimers. This protein h

Cytoskeleton-associated protein 5 (Colonic and hepatic tumor overexpressed gene protein) (Ch-TOG)
Protein function
Binds to the plus end of microtubules and regulates microtubule dynamics and microtubule organization. Acts as a processive microtubule polymerase. Promotes cytoplasmic microtubule nucleation and elongation. Plays a major role in organizing spin
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Overexpressed in hepatomas and colonic tumors. Also expressed in skeletal muscle, brain, heart, placenta, lung, liver, kidney and pancreas. Expression is elevated in the brain; highly expressed in the Purkinje cell bodies of the cerebe
