Human Myomegalin, PDE4DIP ELI

Functions as an anchor sequestering components of the cAMP-dependent pathway to Golgi and/or centrosomes (By similarity). Participates in microtubule dynamics, promoting microtubule assembly.

Depending upon the cell context, may act at the level of the Golgi apparatus or that of the centrosome (PubMed:25217626, PubMed:27666745, PubMed:28814570, PubMed:29162697). In complex with AKAP9, recruits CAMSAP2 to the Golgi apparatus and tethers non-centrosomal minus-end microtubules to the Golgi, an important step for polarized cell movement (PubMed:27666745, PubMed:28814570). In complex with AKAP9, EB1/MAPRE1 and CDK5RAP2, contributes to microtubules nucleation and extension from the centrosome to the cell periphery, a crucial process for directed cell migration, mitotic spindle orientation and cell-cycle progression (PubMed:29162697).
