Also known as GAN1KLHL16GIG
Summary
GAN (gigaxonin, HGNC:4137) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 16q23.2, encoding Gigaxonin (Q9H2C0). Probable cytoskeletal component that directly or indirectly plays an important role in neurofilament architecture.
This gene encodes a member of the cytoskeletal BTB/kelch (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac) repeat family. The encoded protein plays a role in neurofilament architecture and is involved in mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of some proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of giant axonal neuropathy (GAN).

Function. Probable cytoskeletal component that directly or indirectly plays an important role in neurofilament architecture. May act as a substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Controls degradation of TBCB. Controls degradation of MAP1B and MAP1S, and is critical for neuronal maintenance and survival.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with TBCB. Interacts with CUL3. Part of a complex that contains CUL3, RBX1 and GAN. Interacts (via BTB domain) with UBA1. Interacts (via Kelch domains) with MAP1B (via C-terminus) and MAP1S (via C-terminus).
Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytoskeleton.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain, heart and muscle.
Post-translational modifications. Ubiquitinated by E3 ubiquitin ligase complex formed by CUL3 and RBX1 and probably targeted for proteasome-independent degradation.
Disease relevance. Giant axonal neuropathy 1, autosomal recessive (GAN1) [MIM:256850] A severe autosomal recessive sensorimotor neuropathy affecting both the peripheral nerves and the central nervous system. Axonal loss and the presence of giant axonal swellings filled with neurofilaments on nerve biopsies are the hallmarks of this neurodegenerative disorder. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
