This entry includes GIPC proteins (GAIP C-terminus-interacting protein) GIPC1-3, PDZ domain-containing proteins that may act as scaffold proteins linking heterotrimeric G-proteins to seven-transmembrane-type WNT receptor or to receptor tyrosine kinases [1,2]. They might play key roles in carcinogenesis and embryogenesis through modulation of growth factor signaling and cell adhesion [3,4]. GIPCs are proteins with a GIPC homology 1 (GH1) domain, a central PDZ domain and a GH2 domain (Pfam:PF25082). This entry represents the GH1 domain.
This family features the C-terminal regions of various plexins (e.g. Swiss:P51805). Plexins are receptors for semaphorins, and plexin signalling is important in path finding and patterning of both neurons and developing blood vessels [1,2]. The cytop ...
This family features the C-terminal regions of various plexins (e.g. Swiss:P51805). Plexins are receptors for semaphorins, and plexin signalling is important in path finding and patterning of both neurons and developing blood vessels [1,2]. The cytoplasmic region, which has been called a SEX domain in some members of this family [3], is involved in downstream signalling pathways, by interaction with proteins such as Rac1, RhoD, Rnd1 and other plexins [4]. This domain acts as a RasGAP domain [5].
