General description

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.

Specificity

Other Homologies: Mouse (97% sequence homology).

Immunogen

GST-tagged recombinant protein corresponding to the coiled coil domain of rat Girdin.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:1000 dilution from a representative lot detected Girdin in Cos-7 cells (Prof. P. Ghosh, Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, UCSD School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs Medical Center).

Western Blot Analysis: A representative lot detected Girdin in Cos-7 cell lysate. Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some cell lysates.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot immunoprecipitated Girdin in HeLa cell lysates (Prof. P. Ghosh, Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, UCSD School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs Medical Center). Uncharacterized bands may be observed in some cell lysates.

Epithelial cell polarity defects support cancer progression. It is thus crucial to decipher the functional interactions within the polarity protein network. Here we show that Drosophila Girdin and its human ortholog (GIRDIN) sustain the function of crucial lateral polarity proteins
STAT3 protein up-regulates G?-interacting vesicle-associated protein (GIV)/Girdin expression, and GIV enhances STAT3 activation in a positive feedback loop during wound healing and tumor invasion/metastasis.

Cancers represent complex autonomous systems, displaying self-sufficiency in growth signaling. Autonomous growth is fueled by a cancer cell's ability to "secrete-and-sense" growth factors (GFs): a poorly understood phenomenon. Using an integrated computational and experimental approach, here we dissect the impact
