Function
NALP5_MOUSE 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 (PubMed:11062459, PubMed:18804437, PubMed:25208553). 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 (PubMed:25208553). Required for the localization of cortical granules to the cortex of oocytes, via association with the cortical actin scaffold (PubMed:31118423). Required for cortical actin clearance prior to oocyte exocytosis and prevention of polyspermy (PubMed:31118423). Involved in regulating post-fertilization Ca(2+) release and endoplasmic reticulum storage (ER) storage via regulation of cellular localization (PubMed:24374158). 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 (PubMed:22357545).[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]
