Functiondomain:The NPXY sequence motif found in many tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins is required for the specific binding of the PID domain. However, additional amino acids either N- or C-terminal to the NPXY motif are often required for complete interaction. The NPXY site is also involved in clathrin-mediated endocytosis.,function:May play a role in postsynaptic function. The C-terminal gamma-secretase processed fragment, ALID1, activates transcription activation through APBB1 (Fe65) binding (By similarity). Couples to JIP signal transduction through C-terminal binding. May interact with cellular G-protein signaling pathways. Can regulate neurite outgrowth through binding to components of the extracellular matrix such as heparin and collagen I.,function:The gamma-CTF peptide, C30, is a potent enhancer of neuronal apoptosis.,miscellaneous:Binds zinc and copper in the extracellular domain.

Subcellular LocationCell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.; [C30]: Cytoplasm. C-terminally processed in the Golgi complex.
ExpressionExpressed in the cerebral cortex where it is localized to the postsynaptic density (PSD).
Backgroundamyloid beta precursor like protein 1(APLP1) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of the highly conserved amyloid precursor protein gene family. The encoded protein is a membrane-associated glycoprotein that is cleaved by secretases in a manner similar to amyloid beta A4 precursor protein cleavage. This cleavage liberates an intracellular cytoplasmic fragment that may act as a transcriptional activator. The encoded protein may also play a role in synaptic maturation during cortical development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
