What is the function of this protein?
Binds to the plus end of microtubules and regulates microtubule dynamics and microtubule organization.  Acts as processive microtubule polymerase.  Promotes cytoplasmic microtubule nucleation and elongation.  Plays a major role in organizing spindle poles.  In spindle formation protects kinetochore microtubules from depolymerization by KIF2C and has an essential role in centrosomal microtubule assembly independently of KIF2C activity.  Contributes to centrosome integrity.  Acts as component of the TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex proposed to contribute to stabilization of kinetochore fibers of the mitotic spindle by acting as inter-microtubule bridge.  The TACC3/ch-TOG/clathrin complex is required for the maintenance of kinetochore fiber tension (PubMed:23532825).  Enhances the strength of NDC80 complex-mediated kinetochore-tip microtubule attachments (PubMed:27156448).
What are the official names of this protein?
Cytoskeleton-associated protein 5, Colonic and hepatic tumor overexpressed gene protein, Ch-TOG.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the TOG/XMAP215 family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle pole. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore. Note=Detected on centrosomes and kinetochores during interphase and mitosis independently from TACC3 and clathrin. Located to spindle poles and microtubules during mitosis. In complex with TACC3 localized to microtubule plus-ends in mitosis and interphase. In complex with TACC3 and clathrin localized to inter- microtubule bridges in mitotic spindles. Accumulation sites at microtubule plus ends protruded approximately 100 nm from MAPRE1/EB1 sites in interphase cells.
