Description
Girdin is a 1,871 amino acid protein that, via interactions with phosphoinositides, localizes to the cell membrane and to the cytosol. Expressed ubiquitously, girdin functions to enhance the activity of PI 3-kinase-dependent phosphorylation of proteins, such as Akt1, thereby inducing the phosphorylation of downstream protein targets and, ultimately, regulating DNA replication and cellular proliferation. Additionally, girdin is crucial for cell migration and is responsible for both maintaining the structural integrity of the Actin cytoskeleton and for regulating the formation of Actin stress fibers. Girdin exists as a homodimer that can itself be phosphorylatedan event that delocalizes girdin from the cell membrane, thus allowing it to participate in cell migration events. Two isoforms of girdin exist due to alternative splicing events
