This gene encodes a protein with multiple coiled coil
motifs which is located in the nucleus, cytoplasm and mitochondria.
The protein is involved in neurite outgrowth and cortical
development through its interaction with other proteins. This gene
is disrupted in a t(1;11)(q42.1;q14.3) translocation which
segregates with schizophrenia and related psychiatric disorders in
a large Scottish family. Alternate transcriptional splice variants,
encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by
