Enables phospholipase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including COP9 signalosome assembly; positive regulation of T cell differentiation in thymus; and positive regulation of T cell receptor signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within TCR signalosome assembly. Located in cytoplasm. Part of TCR signalosome. Is expressed in ductus deferens; testis; thymus; and thymus primordium. Orthologous to human TESPA1 (thymocyte expressed, positive selection associated 1).
