tastin; trophinin-assisting protein; trophinin-associated protein (TROAP)

Function

• may function with bystin & trophinin in a cell adhesion complex that mediates an initial attachment of the blastocyst to uterine epithelial cells at the time of embryo implantation
• directly binds bystin, & indirectly trophinin

Compartment

• cytoplasm
• exclusively localized to the apical side of the syncytiotrophoblast

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2

Expression

• strong expression at implantation sites
• also expressed in macrophages

More general terms

• protein subunit
• phosphoprotein

Additional terms

• bystin; by the ribosomal protein s6 gene, drosophila, homolog-like (BYSL, BYST)
• trophinin; MAGE-D3 antigen (TRO, KIAA1114, MAGED3)
