SCRIB — Scribble planar cell polarity protein

SCRIB belongs to a gene co-expression module in 1 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

About the gene

Function

Scaffold protein involved in different aspects of polarized cell differentiation regulating epithelial and neuronal morphogenesis and T-cell polarization. Via its interaction with CRTAM, required for the late phase polarization of a subset of CD4+ T-cells, which in turn regulates TCR-mediated proliferation and IFNG and IL22 production (By similarity). Plays a role in cell directional movement, cell orientation, cell sheet organization and Golgi complex polarization at the cell migration front (By similarity). Promotes epithelial cell layer barrier function via maintaining cell-cell adhesion (By similarity). Most probably functions in the establishment of apico- basal cell polarity. May function in cell proliferation regulating progression from G1 to S phase and as a positive regulator of apoptosis for instance during acinar morphogenesis of the mammary epithelium. May regulate cell invasion via MAPK-mediated cell migration and adhesion. May play a role in exocytosis and in the targeting of synaptic vesicles to synapses. Functions as an activator of Rac GTPase activity.
