PKHM2

Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family M member 2; Isoform 2 of Pleckstrin homology domain-containing family M member 2

Plays a role in lysosomes movement and localization at the cell periphery acting as an effector of ARL8B. Required for ARL8B to exert its effects on lysosome location, recruits kinesin-1 to lysosomes and hence direct their movement toward microtubule plus ends. Binding to ARL8B provides a link from lysosomal membranes to plus-end-directed motility (PubMed:22172677, PubMed:24088571, PubMed:25898167, PubMed:28325809). Critical factor involved in NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity. Drives the polarization of cytolytic granules and microtubule-organizing centers (MTOCs) toward the immune synapse between effector NK lymphocytes and target cells (PubMed:24088571). Required for maintenance of the Golgi apparatus organization (PubMed:22172677). May play a role in membrane tubulation (PubMed:15905402).
