High impact information on SHARPIN

  • We have identified a novel protein, termed Sharpin, that directly interacts with the ankyrin repeats of Shank [1].
  • Considering the fact that the ankyrin repeats and the SH3 domain of Shank can be truncated by alternative splicing, these results define Sharpin as a novel PSD protein that may regulate the complexity of the Shank-based protein network in an alternative splicing-dependent manner [1].
  • The upregulation of SIPL1 in the fundus of W/WV mice, and expression in the upper gastrointestinal tract suggest that the SIPL1 gene could be associated with ICC function in mice and humans [2].
  • CONCLUSIONS: Gene analysis showed that SIPL1 differentially express in the gastric fundus of normal and W/WV mice [2].
  • SIPL1 was abundantly expressed in human stomach and small intestine, and scarcely expressed in cecum and rectum [2].
