Associates specifically via disulfide bonds with the Latency-associated peptide (LAP), which is the regulatory chain of TGF-beta, and regulates integrin-dependent activation of TGF-beta. Able to outcompete LTBP1 for binding to LAP regulatory chain of TGF-beta. Controls activation of TGF-beta-1 (TGFB1) on the surface of activated regulatory T-cells (Tregs). Required for epithelial fusion during palate development by regulating activation of TGF-beta-3 (TGFB3) (By similarity).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cell membrane.

The encoded protein also is a mitotic checkpoint protein and a regulator of chemoresistance in human ovarian cancer.
