The encoded protein is synthesized mainly in corticotroph cells of the anterior pituitary where four cleavage sites are used; adrenocorticotrophin, essential for normal steroidogenesis and the maintenance of normal adrenal weight, and lipotropin beta are the major end products. In other tissues, including the hypothalamus, placenta, and epithelium, all cleavage sites may be used, giving rise to peptides with roles in pain and energy homeostasis, melanocyte stimulation, and immune modulation. These include several distinct melanotropins, lipotropins, and endorphins that are contained within the adrenocorticotrophin and beta-lipotropin peptides. Mutations in this gene have been associated with early onset obesity, adrenal insufficiency, and red hair pigmentation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described.

Mapping to chromosome 21, the FASP1 gene (FAPP1-associated protein 1) encodes a 233 amino acid protein that is homologous to the fission yeast protein Mis18. In yeast, Mis18 is localised to the centrosome and forms a complex with Mis16 to maintain the deacetylated state of histones specifically in the central core of centromeres. FASP1, also known as Protein Mis18-alpha and C21orf45, is required for the recruitment of CENP-A to centrosomes and is thereby essential for normal chromosome segregation during mitosis. With expression in testis, FASP1 exists as a homodimer, a heterodimer with MIS18B or is present in a complex containing other Mis18 family members. FASP1 has been shown to bind to pp5644 in Hela cells, where overexpression of pp5644 leads to inhibited growth and colony formation.

The protein encoded by this gene is one of the highly conserved mini-chromosome maintenance proteins (MCM) that are essential for the initiation of eukaryotic genome replication. The hexameric protein complex formed by the MCM proteins is a key component of the pre-replication complex (pre_RC) and may be involved in the formation of replication forks and in the recruitment of other DNA replication related proteins. The MCM complex consisting of this protein and MCM2, 4 and 6 proteins possesses DNA helicase activity, and may act as a DNA unwinding enzyme. Cyclin D1-dependent kinase, CDK4, is found to associate with this protein, and may regulate the binding of this protein with the tumorsuppressor protein RB1/RB. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].

The regulated translation of messenger RNA is essential for cell-cycle progression, establishment of the body plan during early development and modulation of key activities in the central nervous system. Cytoplasmic polyadenylation, one mechanism of controlling translation, is driven by cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding proteins, called CPEBs. CPEB3 (cytoplasmic polyadenylation element binding protein 3) is a 698 amino acid protein that contains two RNA recognition motif (RRM) domains and, like other CPEB proteins, may play a role in the maturation of the central nervous system. CPEB3 exists as multiple alternatively spliced isoforms that are encoded by a gene which maps to human chromosome 10, which houses over 1,200 genes and comprises nearly 4.5% of the human genome.
