AMER1 (APC membrane recruitment protein 1) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Colorectal cancer, Skin cancer, Leukaemia and 3 more. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Regulator of the canonical Wnt signalling pathway. Acts by specifically binding phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns(4,5)P2), translocating to the cell membrane and interacting with key regulators of the canonical Wnt signalling pathway, such as components of the beta-catenin destruction complex. Acts both as a positive and negative regulator of the Wnt signalling pathway, depending on the context: acts as a positive regulator by promoting LRP6 phosphorylation. Also acts as a negative regulator by acting as a scaffold protein for the beta-catenin destruction complex and promoting stabilisation of Axin at the cell membrane. Promotes CTNNB1 ubiquitination and degradation. Involved in kidney development. Location: Cytoplasm; Cell membrane; Nucleus (UniProt). Locus Xq11.2 (HGNC).
