Gen- und Proteininformationen
UniProt Zusammenfassung
Actin cytoskeleton-organizing protein that plays a role in the formation of cell projections (PubMed:20215400). Required for actin polymerization at immunological synapses (IS) and for the recruitment of the chemokine receptor CXCR4 to IS (PubMed:20215400). Plays a role in dendritic spine morphogenesis and organization, including the localization of the dopamine receptor DRD1 to the dendritic spines (By similarity). Involved in memory-related synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus (By similarity).
Entrez Zusammenfassung
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic actin-binding protein thought to play a role in the process of neuronal growth. It is a member of the drebrin family of proteins that are developmentally regulated in the brain. A decrease in the amount of this protein in the brain has been implicated as a possible contributing factor in the pathogenesis of memory disturbance in Alzheimer's disease. At least two alternative splice variants encoding different protein isoforms have been described for this gene.
Gewebespezifität
Expressed in the brain, with expression in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, stratum pyramidale, and stratum radiatum of the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:8838578). Also expressed in the terminal varicosities distributed along dendritic trees of pyramidal cells in CA4 and CA3 of the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:8838578). Expressed in pyramidal cells in CA2, CA1 and the subiculum of the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:8838578). Expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes, including T-cells (at protein level) (PubMed:20215400). Expressed in the brain (PubMed:8216329, Ref.2). Expressed in the heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, skin fibroblasts, gingival fibroblasts and bone-derived cells (Ref.2).
Rolle bei Krankheiten
Alzheimer disease: Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive dementia, loss of cognitive abilities, and deposition of fibrillar amyloid proteins as intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles, extracellular amyloid plaques and vascular amyloid deposits. The major constituents of these plaques are neurotoxic amyloid-beta protein 40 and amyloid-beta protein 42, that are produced by the proteolysis of the transmembrane APP protein. The cytotoxic C-terminal fragments (CTFs) and the caspase-cleaved products, such as C31, are also implicated in neuronal death.
Zellort
Cytoplasm. Cell projection > Dendrite. Cytoplasm > Cell cortex. Cell junction. Cell projection > Growth cone.
In the absence of antigen, evenly distributed throughout subcortical regions of the T-cell membrane and cytoplasm (PubMed:20215400). In the presence of antigen, distributes to the immunological synapse forming at the T-cell-APC contact area, where it localizes at the peripheral and distal supramolecular activation clusters (SMAC) (PubMed:20215400). Colocalized with RUFY3 and F-actin at the transitional domain of the axonal growth cone (By similarity).
