DLC1 (Rho GTPase-activating protein 7) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. 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
Functions as a GTPase-activating protein for the small GTPases RHOA, RHOB, RHOC and CDC42, terminating their downstream signalling. This induces morphological changes and detachment through cytoskeletal reorganisation, playing a critical role in biological processes such as cell migration and proliferation. Also functions in vivo as an activator of the phospholipase PLCD1. Active DLC1 increases cell migration velocity but reduces directionality. Required for growth factor-induced epithelial cell migration; in resting cells, interacts with TNS3 while PTEN interacts with the p85 regulatory subunit of the PI3K kinase complex but growth factor stimulation induces phosphorylation of TNS3 and PTEN, causing them to change their binding preference so that PTEN interacts with DLC1 and TNS3 interacts with p85. The PTEN-DLC1 complex translocates to the posterior of migrating cells to activate RHOA while the TNS3-p85 complex translocates to the leading edge of migrating cells to promote RAC1 activation. Location: Cytoplasm; Cell junction, focal adhesion; Membrane (UniProt). Locus 8p22 (HGNC).
