Cip4: Proteins and Enzymes

TRIP10/CIP4 is a multi-functional adapter protein and plays a role in the translocation of Glut4 (glucose transporter) vesicles to the cell surface in response to insulin. TRIP10/CIP4 has also been found to interact with the active GTPases CDC42 and TC10 as well as the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (WASP), a protein involved in cytoskeletal organization. Recent studies suggest that CIP4 accumulation may play a role in Huntington's disease pathogenesis.
