Human Gene GPC3 (ENST00000631057.2) from GENCODE V44
  Description: Homo sapiens glypican 3 (GPC3), transcript variant 4, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_001164619)
RefSeq Summary (NM_001164619): Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. The protein encoded by this gene can bind to and inhibit the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of CD26, and it can induce apoptosis in certain cell types. Deletion mutations in this gene are associated with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, also known as Simpson dysmorphia syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

  ID: GPC3_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Glypican-3; AltName: Full=GTR2-2; AltName: Full=Intestinal protein OCI-5; AltName: Full=MXR7; Contains: RecName: Full=Secreted glypican-3; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Cell surface proteoglycan that bears heparan sulfate. Inhibits the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of DPP4. May be involved in the suppression/modulation of growth in the predominantly mesodermal tissues and organs. May play a role in the modulation of IGF2 interactions with its receptor and thereby modulate its function. May regulate growth and tumor predisposition.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with DPP4.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor; Extracellular side (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted glypican-3: Secreted, extracellular space (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in lung, liver and kidney.
DISEASE: Defects in GPC3 are the cause of Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 1 (SGBS1) [MIM:312870]; also known as Simpson dysmorphia syndrome (SDYS). SGBS is a condition characterized by pre- and postnatal overgrowth (gigantism) with visceral and skeletal anomalies.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the glypican family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
