    PROTEIN
    PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
    STRUCTURE
    motifs/domains
  • two phosphotyrosine interaction domains at the N-terminal region , and an atypical phosphotyrosine-binding domain which interacts with plasma membrane phospholipids to facilitate SLC2A4 trafficking in adipocytes
  • a predicted Rab GAP (GTPase-activating protein) domain that is phosphorylated on multiple sites by the protein kinase Akt at the C-terminal region
  • two PID domains
  • secondary structure
  • RabGAP domains have 16 alpha-helices and no beta-sheet elements
  • conjugated PhosphoP

    basic FUNCTION
  • putative GTPase activator protein of RAB-like small GTPase
  • may act as a GTPase activating protein for RAB family protein
  • RabGAP (Rab GTPase-activating protein) that is a direct substrate of Akt and plays an essential role in the regulation of SLC2A4 trafficking, through the association with 14-3-3 proteins
  • key player in insulin signaling in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue, but is also a major effector of protein kinase B/Akt signaling in the beta-cell
  • Rab-GTPase activating protein implicated in insulin-stimulated glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation in adipocytes and myotubes
  • TBC1D1 and TBC1D4 are Rab GTPase-activating proteins (RabGAPs) in skeletal myocytes and adipocytes, respectively, with functions in SLC2A4 vesicle trafficking
  • protein involved in insulin-stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes
  • may control distinct Rab GTPases
  • central player in the surface expression levels of SLC2A4, SLC2A1, and epithelial sodium channel
  • regulates SLC2A4 trafficking in adipocytes
  • potentially acting as a regulatory switch in the docking and/or fusion of SLC2A4-containing storage vesicles with the plasma membrane
  • TBC1D4 (AS160) controls trafficking of the glucose transporter SLC2A4 in adipocytes and skeletal muscle cells

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with RAB10 (downstream target of TBC1D4 in the insulin-signaling pathway that regulates SLC2A4 translocation in adipocytes)
  • RAB11FIP5 is a TBC1D4 and RAB-binding protein that coordinates the protein kinase signalling and trafficking machinery required to stimulate glucose uptake in response to insulin
  • interacting with WNK1
  • intreracting with AQP2 (decreased expression of TBC1D4 is likely to play a role in the translocation of AQP2 to the plasma membrane)
  • ATIC appeared to exert its effect on insulin-mediated glucose uptake by enhancing phosphorylation of the Akt substrate TBC1D4
  • CLIP3 interacted with TBC1D4, which was mediated by the ankyrin repeats of CLIP3 and regulated by insulin signaling
  • regulates SLC2A4 trafficking in adipocytes
  • is the GTPase activating protein (GAP) for RAB8A, which forms a ternary complex with CIDEC and RAB8A to positively regulate Lipid droplets fusion
