This entry represents a short highly conserved region close to the N terminus of SCAPER. SCAPER is an ER-localised protein and a substrate for cyclin A/Cdk2. One theory suggests that SCAPER functions to create a local high concentration of cyclin A2 in the cytoplasm. Alternatively, SCAPER might be acting to sequester a portion of cellular cyclin A2 that could then be readily available for nuclear translocation, which may be needed for exit from G0 phase [, ].
