Gene Information

human ... GEM(2669)

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.

Despite intensive studies of muscular dystrophy of chicken, the responsible gene has not yet been identified. Our recent studies mapped the genetic locus for abnormal muscle (AM) of chicken with muscular dystrophy to chromosome 2q using the Kobe University (KU)

The RGK family of monomeric GTP-binding proteins potently inhibits high voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels. The molecular mechanisms of this inhibition are largely unclear. In Xenopus oocytes, Gem suppresses the activity of P/Q-type Ca(2+) channels on the plasma membrane. This is presumed

The standard treatment for non-metastatic muscle-invasive bladder cancer (stages T2-T4a) is radical cystectomy with lymphadenectomy. However, patients undergoing cystectomy show metastatic spread in 25% of cases and these patients will have limited benefit from surgery. Identification of patients with high

Efficient HTLV-1 viral transmission occurs through cell-to-cell contacts. The Tax viral transcriptional activator protein facilitates this process. Using a comparative transcriptomic analysis, we recently identified a series of genes up-regulated in HTLV-1 Tax expressing T-lymphocytes. We focused our attention towards
