Description

General description

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the RAD/GEM family of GTP-binding proteins. It is associated with the inner face of the plasma membrane and could play a role as a regulatory protein in receptor-mediated signal transduction. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. (provided by RefSeq)

Biochem/physiol Actions

GEM (GTP binding protein overexpressed in skeletal muscle) is a guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding protein. It controls voltage gated Ca²⁺ channels and cytoskeleton dynamics. Overexpression of GEM causes disruption of stress fiber, changes in cell shape and neurite elongation in interphase cells. In addition, it is also involved in actin remodelling during mitosis. In Timothy syndrome, overexpression of GEM leads to inactivation of RhoA, thereby preventing dendritic retraction. GEM might also be associated with cell invasiveness. In HTLV-1 retrovirus (human T-cell leukemia virus type 1) infection, GEM is involved in cell-to-cell viral transmission.
