Ensconsin (MAP7)

Microtubule-stabilizing protein which may play a major role through reorganization of microtubules through polarization and differentiation of epithelial cells. Associates with microtubules in a dynamic way.

May play a role in the formation of intercellular contacts. Colocalization with TRPV4 results in the redistribution of TRPV4 toward the membrane and might link cytoskeletal microfilaments.
