SH3 Domain Binding Glutamic Acid-Rich Protein Like 3 (SH3BGRL3) is a protein encoded by the SH3BGRL3 gene in humans. This protein is part of the SH3BGR family, which includes small proteins that share similarities with the N-terminal region of the SH3BGR protein. SH3BGRL3 is a protein-coding gene and is known for its involvement in various biological processes and potential implications in diseases.
The SH3BGRL3 gene is located on chromosome 1 at the position 1p36.11 . The protein encoded by this gene has a molecular weight of approximately 10.5 kDa and an isoelectric point of 5.0 . SH3BGRL3 shows significant similarity to glutaredoxin 1 of E. coli, and it is predicted to belong to the thioredoxin-like protein family .
Although the precise function of SH3BGRL3 is not fully understood, it is believed to act as a modulator of glutaredoxin biological activity . It may also play a role in cytoskeleton organization . SH3BGRL3 lacks the enzymatic function of glutaredoxins but may serve as a regulator of redox activity .
SH3BGRL3 has been associated with several diseases, including Three M Syndrome 1 and Myeloproliferative Neoplasm . It has also been found to be overexpressed in various tumors, such as glioblastoma multiforme and acute promyelocytic leukemia . The protein’s upregulation in these cancers suggests a potential role in tumorigenesis and cancer progression.
SH3BGRL3 has been shown to bind to myosin 1c in a calcium-dependent manner, indicating a possible role in modulating cytoskeletal dynamics . Additionally, recent studies suggest a relationship between SH3BGRL3 and members of the EGFR family, which are known to be involved in cell signaling and cancer .
