Uniprot Id

Q9H4X1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RGCC

Target Full Name

Regulator of cell cycle RGCC

Target Function

Modulates the activity of cell cycle-specific kinases. Enhances CDK1 activity. May contribute to the regulation of the cell cycle. May inhibit growth of glioma cells by promoting arrest of mitotic progression at the G2/M transition. Fibrogenic factor contributing to the pathogenesis of renal fibrosis through fibroblast activation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome. Note=Cytoplasmic in unstimulated cells. Nuclear after activation by complement. Associated with the centrosome during prometaphase and metaphase.

Target Tissue Specificity

Detected in brain, heart and liver (at protein level). Highly expressed in liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Detected at lower levels in heart, brain and placenta. Detected in aorta endothelial cells. Overexpressed in colon, breast, prostate, b

Target Synonyms

RGCC; C13orf15; RGC32; Regulator of cell cycle RGCC; Response gene to complement 32 protein; RGC-32

Target Background

This gene is thought to regulate cell cycle progression. It is induced by p53 in response to DNA damage, or by sublytic levels of complement system proteins that result in activation of the cell cycle. The encoded protein localizes to the cytoplasm during interphase and to centrosomes during mitosis. The protein forms a complex with polo-like kinase 1. The protein also translocates to the nucleus in response to treatment with complement system proteins, and can associate with and increase the kinase activity of cell division cycle 2 protein. In different assays and cell types, overexpression of this protein has been shown to activate or suppress cell cycle progression.
