Glypican-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GPC1 gene.[3][4]

Function

Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation.[4]

Interactions

Glypican 1 has been shown to interact with SLIT2.[5]

Clinical significance

This protein is involved in the misfolding of normal prion proteins in the cell membrane to the infectious prion form.[6]
