| Structural highlights
Disease
[ASPC1_HUMAN] Translocation renal cell carcinoma;Alveolar soft-tissue sarcoma. A chromosomal aberration involving ASPSCR1 is found in patients with alveolar soft part sarcoma. Translocation t(X;17)(p11;q25) with TFE3 forms a ASPSCR1-TFE3 fusion protein.[1] A chromosomal aberration involving ASPSCR1 has been found in two patients with of papillary renal cell carcinoma. Translocation t(X;17)(p11.2;q25).[2]
Function
[ASPC1_HUMAN] Tethering protein that sequesters GLUT4-containing vesicles in the cytoplasm in the absence of insulin. Modulates the amount of GLUT4 that is available at the cell surface (By similarity). Enhances VCP methylation catalyzed by VCPKMT.[3]
