Rho GTPase TC10 (Tc10). TC10 is a Rho family protein that has been shown to induce microspike formation and neurite outgrowth in vitro. Its expression changes dramatically after peripheral nerve injury, suggesting an important role in promoting axonal outgrowth and regeneration. TC10 regulates translocation of insulin-stimulated GLUT4 in adipocytes and has also been shown to bind directly to Golgi COPI coat proteins. GTP-bound TC10 in vitro can bind numerous potential effectors. Depending on its subcellular localization and distinct functional domains, TC10 can differentially regulate two types of filamentous actin in adipocytes. TC10 mRNAs are highly expressed in three types of mouse muscle tissues: leg skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and uterus; they were also present in brain, with higher levels in adults than in newborns. TC10 has also been shown to play a role in regulating the expression of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) through interactions with CFTR-associated ligand (CAL). The GTP-bound form of TC10 directs the trafficking of CFTR from the juxtanuclear region to the secretory pathway toward the plasma membrane, away from CAL-mediated DFTR degradation in the lysosome. Most Rho proteins contain a lipid modification site at the C-terminus, with a typical sequence motif CaaX, where a = an aliphatic amino acid and X = any amino acid. Lipid binding is essential for membrane attachment, a key feature of most Rho proteins. Due to the presence of truncated sequences in this CD, the lipid modification site is not available for annotation.
