Summary
CARMIL1 (capping protein regulator and myosin 1 linker 1, HGNC:21581) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p22.2, encoding F-actin-uncapping protein LRRC16A (Q5VZK9). Cell membrane-cytoskeleton-associated protein that plays a role in the regulation of actin polymerization at the barbed end of actin filaments.
Involved in several processes, including actin filament network formation; plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Located in several cellular components, including lamellipodium; macropinosome; and nuclear speck.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 10)
- The two CARMIL isoforms are both important for cell migration, but they have distinct functions.[CARMIL1, CARMIL2] (PMID:19846667)
- Data suggest that CARMIL promotes uncapping by binding to a freely accessible site on Capping protein (CP) bound to a filament barbed end and inducing a change in the conformation of the actin-binding surface of CP. (PMID:22411988)
- The results also suggest that the ability of CARMIL1 to inhibit CP in cells may be regulated. (PMID:23904264)
- shown for the first time that CARMIL/LRRC16A was associated with gout, which could be due to urate transportsome failure (PMID:24318514)
- LRRC16A plays a role in adult respiratory distress syndrome pathophysiology by interacting with, and being mediated through, platelets. (PMID:25254322)
- A novel genetic variant in leucine-rich repeat-containing 16A (LRRC16A) has been associated with reduced ARDS risk. (PMID:27768389)
- Study utilized whole exome sequencing and other assays to genetically and functionally characterize three consanguineous multiplex Saudi families with CARMIL2 mutations, presenting with dermatitis, recurrent skin abscesses and chest infections. (PMID:29479355)
- V-1 and CARMIL induce changes in both proteins’ binding sites on the surface of capping proteins, along with a set of internal residues. (PMID:29847807)
- The Leucine-Rich Repeat Region of CARMIL1 Regulates IL-1-Mediated ERK Activation, MMP Expression, and Collagen Degradation. (PMID:32610117)
- CARMIL1 regulates liver cancer cell proliferation by activating the ERK/mTOR pathway through the TRIM27/p53 axis. (PMID:38739978)

Function. Cell membrane-cytoskeleton-associated protein that plays a role in the regulation of actin polymerization at the barbed end of actin filaments. Prevents F-actin heterodimeric capping protein (CP) activity at the leading edges of migrating cells, and hence generates uncapped barbed ends and enhances actin polymerization, however, seems unable to nucleate filaments. Plays a role in lamellipodial protrusion formations and cell migration.
Subunit / interactions. Homodimer. Interacts (via C-terminus) with heterodimer capping protein (CP); this interaction uncaps barbed ends capped by CP, enhances barbed-end actin polymerization and promotes lamellipodial formation and cell migration. Interacts with heterodimer capping protein (CP). Interacts with MYO1E. Interacts with TRIO.
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton. Cell membrane. Cell projection. Lamellipodium.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in lung, placenta, small intestine, liver, thymus, colon, skeletal muscle, heart and brain. Higher expression in kidney.
Domain organisation. The C-terminus is necessary for localization to the cell membrane.
Similarity. Belongs to the CARMIL family.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 56 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
