NACHT, LRR and PYD domains-containing protein 5

UniProtKB accession:  P59047

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  As a member of the subcortical maternal complex (SCMC), plays an essential role for zygotes to progress beyond the first embryonic cell divisions via regulation of actin dynamics (By similarity). Required for the formation of F-actin cytoplasmic lattices (CPL) in oocytes, which in turn are responsible for symmetric division of zygotes via the regulation of mitotic spindle formation and positioning (By similarity). Required for the localization of cortical granules to the cortex of oocytes, via association with the cortical actin scaffold (By similarity). Required for cortical actin clearance prior to oocyte exocytosis (By similarity). Involved in regulating post-fertilization Ca(2+) release and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) storage via regulation of ER localization (By similarity). May be involved in the localization of mitochondria to the cytoplasm and perinuclear region in oocytes and early stage embryos, independent of its role in CPL formation (By similarity).
