Description
Product Characteristics: Phosducin-like proteins (PhLPs) are a conserved family of proteins with thioredoxin-like domains that were initially identified as modulators of G protein signaling (1,2). PDCL3 is highly homologous to PDCL and shares an N-terminal helix domain and a C-terminal thioredoxin-fold (Trx-fold) domain (3). Along with the related protein PDCL2, PDCL3 interacts with the chaperonin CCT and modulates CCT-mediated actin and tubulin folding (4). Modulation of PDCL3 levels by MAPK phosphorylation and RhoA-dependent changes also promote cytoskeletal remodeling (5).
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the phosducin-like protein family and is a putative modulator of heterotrimeric G proteins. The protein shares extensive amino acid sequence homology with phosducin. Members of the phosducin-like protein family have been shown to bind to the beta-gamma subunits of G proteins.
