    basic FUNCTION
  • progesterone-induced TTC9 expression was associated with increased cell motility and cell spreading
  • likely TTC9 acts as a chaperone protein to facilitate the function of tropomyosins in stabilizing microfilament and it may play a role in cancer cell invasion and metastasis
  • is a negative regulator of estrogen function through a negative feedback mechanism

    small molecule
    protein
  • TPM3 is a TTC9 partner protein
  • TTC9 interacts specifically with actin-binding protein tropomyosin TPM3 which stabilizes actin filament and focal adhesion
  • TTC9 is a direct ESR1 target gene
  • is a target gene of estrogen and progesterone
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
