JUP基因编码的蛋白称为连接斑珠蛋白(Junction Plakoglobin),也被称为γ-连环蛋白(γ-catenin),属于连环蛋白(catenin)基因家族。这个家族的主要功能是参与细胞间粘附和细胞信号传导,特别是通过与钙粘素(cadherin)蛋白结合来维持细胞间的连接和组织的结构完整性。JUP蛋白在细胞膜上与桥粒斑蛋白(desmosomal proteins)结合,形成桥粒(desmosomes),这对于维持皮肤、心肌等组织的机械强度和稳定性至关重要。JUP还参与Wnt信号通路,通过调节β-连环蛋白(β-catenin)的活性影响细胞增殖和分化。JUP基因突变可能导致其功能丧失或异常,与多种疾病相关。例如,JUP突变可导致Naxos病和Carvajal综合征,这两种罕见的遗传性疾病主要表现为皮肤角化异常、心肌病和羊毛状头发。在Naxos病中,JUP突变导致桥粒结构缺陷,影响心脏和皮肤的稳定性。JUP的异常表达也与肿瘤发生相关,过表达可能促进某些癌症的侵袭和转移,而表达降低则可能破坏细胞间连接,增加肿瘤的恶性程度。JUP在维持上皮组织和心肌结构中的关键作用使其成为研究组织稳定性和相关疾病的重要靶点。
This gene encodes a major cytoplasmic protein which is the only known constituent common to submembranous plaques of both desmosomes and intermediate junctions. This protein forms distinct complexes with cadherins and desmosomal cadherins and is a member of the catenin family since it contains a distinct repeating amino acid motif called the armadillo repeat. Mutation in this gene has been associated with Naxos disease. Alternative splicing occurs in this gene; however, not all transcripts have been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
该基??因编码的主要胞浆蛋白是通用的桥粒和中间路口近膜质斑块已知的唯一组成部分。这种蛋白质形成不同的复合物钙粘蛋白和钙粘素的桥粒,是连环蛋白家族的一员,因为它含有一种称为犰狳重复鲜明的重复氨基酸基序。在这种基因突变已与纳克索斯疾病有关。选择性剪接发生在这个基因;然而,并非所有的转录物已经被充分地描述。 [由RefSeq的,2008年7月提供]
