Function | Protein involved in mitophagy by facilitating recruitment of the autophagy machinery required for clearance of damaged mitochondria (PubMed:30982665). Accumulates on the mitochondria surface in response to mitochondrial depolarization and acts as a 'eat me' signal by recruiting proteins involved in selective autophagy, such as autophagy receptors (CALCOCO2/NDP52, NBR1, SQSTM1/p62, TAX1BP1 and WDFY3/ALFY) and ATG8 family proteins (MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, MAP1LC3C, GABARAP, GABARAPL1 and GABARAPL2) (PubMed:30982665). |
Cellular Location | Mitochondrion matrix |
Tissue Location | Ubiquitous (PubMed:9661659). Highest expression in liver (PubMed:9661659). |

Background
NIPSNAP Antibody: NIPSNAP is a member of an evolutionarily well conserved gene family and has a strong sequence similarity to the central portion of a protein encoded by C. elegans chromosome III between a 4-nitrophenylphosphatase (NIP) domain and non-neuronal SNAP25-like protein. Recent studies have indicated that NIPSNAP is involved in the regulation of the Ca2+-selective transient receptor potential vanilloid channel 6 (TRPV6). NIPSNAP1 associates with TRPV6 at the plasma membrane and inhibits TRPV6 currents. Other studies show that NIPSNAP's expression is reduced in the phenylketonuria (PKU) mouse brain, suggesting that NIPSNAP may play a role in memory.
