| Background Information | Girdin (Ccdc88a; APE, GIV, or HkRP1) is a ubiquitous protein belonging to the CCDC88 family. Girdin is an actin-binding protein which interacts with actin via its C-terminal domain, and may play a crucial role in cell motility and cytoskeleton remodeling. These effects may be regulated by a reciprocal relationship between Girdin and Akt. Akt phosphorylates Girdin, and Girdin binds to Akt and enhances phosphorylation of Akt, thereby promoting phosphorylation of Akt’s downstream targets such as GSK-3β and FOXO1A. Girdin/Akt signaling may play an important role in cancer by facilitating the proliferation of cancer cells. |

| Entrez Gene Number |
|
| Entrez Gene Summary | This gene encodes a member of the Girdin family of coiled-coil domain containing proteins. The encoded protein is an actin-binding protein that is activated by the serine/threonine kinase Akt and plays a role in cytoskeleton remodeling and cell migration. The encoded protein also enhances Akt signaling by mediating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent activation of Akt by growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases and G protein-coupled receptors. Increased expression of this gene and phosphorylation of the encoded protein may play a role in cancer metastasis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. |

| UniProt Summary | FUNCTION: Plays a role as a key modulator of the AKT-mTOR signaling pathway controlling the tempo of the process of newborn neurons integration during adult neurogenesis, including correct neuron positioning, dendritic development and synapse formation. Enhances phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent phosphorylation and kinase activity of AKT1/PKB, but does not possess kinase activity itself. Phosphorylation of AKT1/PKB thereby induces the phosphorylation of downstream effectors GSK3 and FOXO1/FKHR, and regulates DNA replication and cell proliferation. Essential for the integrity of the actin cytoskeleton and for cell migration. Required for formation of actin stress fibers and lamellipodia. May be involved in membrane sorting in the early endosome. SUBUNIT STRUCTURE: Interacts (via C-terminus) with DISC1; the interaction is direct. Interacts with AKT proteins; the interaction is inhibited in presence of DISC1. Homodimer. The non-phosphorylated form interacts with phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate [PI4P] and weakly with phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate [PI3P]. Interacts with microtubules. Interacts with actin through its C-terminal domain. Interacts with the C-terminus of AKT1/PKB. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane. Cell membrane. Cytoplasm > cytosol. Cytoplasmic vesicle. Cell projection > lamellipodium. Note: Localizes to the cell membrane through interaction with phosphoinositides. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed ubiquitously. POST-TRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATION: Phosphorylation is induced by epidermal growth factor (EGF) in a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-dependent manner. Phosphorylation by AKT1/PKB is necessary for the delocalization from the cell membrane and for cell migration. SEQUENCE SIMILARITIES: Belongs to the CCDC88 family. SEQUENCE CAUTION: The sequence AAY14932.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended. The sequence CAD97945.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Intron retention at the C-terminus. The sequence CAI46020.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally extended. |
