    text
  • heparan sulfate proteoglycan, anchored to the membrane
  • unlike GPC3, GPC5 localizes to the primary cilia
  • basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the control of cellular response to growth factors and adhesion factors
  • may contribute to development and/or progression of lymphomas and other tumors
  • may play a role in the context of sarcomagenesis, in enhancing FGF signaling that leads to mesodermal cell proliferation without induction of myogenic differentiation
  • stimulates the proliferation of rhabdomyosarcoma cells, and its stimulatory activity is a result of its ability to promote Hedgehog (Hh) signaling
  • stimulates Hh signaling by facilitating/stabilizing the interaction between Hh and PTCH1

    INTERACTION
    DNA

    small molecule
    protein
  • increases the binding of Sonic Hh to PTCH1 (binds to both Hh and PTCH1 through its glycosaminoglycan chains)

    Susceptibility
  • to multiple sclerosis (MS)
  • to sudden cardiac arrest (SCA)
  • to nephrotic syndrome
  • Variant & Polymorphism other
  • increasing the risk of multiple sclerosis
  • intronic SNP in the GPC5 gene (rs9523787) showed association with MS
  • minor allele of GPC5 (rs3864180) was associated with a lower risk of SCA
  • Candidate gene for upper limb anomalies in del 13q
