Also known as B37PRED81CU062
Summary
EPCIP (exosomal polycystin 1 interacting protein, HGNC:1305) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 21q22.11, encoding Exosomal polycystin-1-interacting protein (Q9NYP8). Likely to be involved with PKD1 in the detection, sequestration and exocytosis of senescent mitochondria.
Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in mitocytosis. Located in extracellular exosome and migrasome.

Function. Likely to be involved with PKD1 in the detection, sequestration and exocytosis of senescent mitochondria.
Subunit / interactions. Homooligomer. Interacts with PKD1 (via the PKD repeats in the N-terminal extracellular region); the interaction is not dependent on N-glycosylation of either protein.
Subcellular location. Vesicle. Secreted. Extracellular exosome.
Tissue specificity. Detected in the kidney and in the endothelium of large blood vessels (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated.
Similarity. Belongs to the EPCIP family.
