Facts about Dedicator of cytokinesis protein 3.
Its interaction with presenilin proteins as well as its ability to stimulate Tau/MAPT phosphorylation suggest that it could be involved in Alzheimer disease. Ectopic expression in neural cells reduces the secretion of amyloid-beta APBA1 protein and lowers the rate of cell-substratum adhesion, suggesting that it might affect the role of a small GTPase involved in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton or cell adhesion receptors (By similarity).

In normal brains, it is localized in the neuropil, and occasionally in the pyramidal cells, while in Alzheimer disease brains, it is associated with neurofibrillary tangles.
