Function | Pore-forming protein involved in both innate and adaptive immunity (PubMed:23753625, PubMed:26402460, PubMed:28422754, PubMed:30609079, PubMed:31537793, PubMed:33224153). Plays a central role in antigen cross-presentation in dendritic cells by forming a pore in antigen-containing compartments, thereby promoting delivery of antigens for cross-presentation (By similarity). Also involved in innate immune response following bacterial infection; shows antibacterial activity against a wide spectrum of Gram-positive, Gram- negative and acid-fast bacteria (PubMed:23753625, PubMed:26402460, PubMed:28422754, PubMed:30609079, PubMed:33224153). Reduces the viability of the intracytosolic pathogen L.monocytogenes by inhibiting acidification of the phagocytic vacuole of host cells which restricts bacterial translocation from the vacuole to the cytosol (By similarity). Required for the antibacterial activity of reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Note=Bacterial infection induces translocation of the cytoplasmic vesicles to bacterium-containing phagocytic vesicles and fusing of the vesicles [Isoform 2]: Secreted |
Tissue Location | Expressed constitutively in a variety of cell types including macrophages, natural killer cells, neutrophils, keratinocytes and monocytes (PubMed:26402460, PubMed:28705375, PubMed:7888681). In skin, expressed in both hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic cells with expression detected in a variety of cell types including keratinocytes, fibroblasts and endothelial cells (PubMed:30609079) |
