Secondary Information

Protein Function a novel regulator of the actin-related protein-2/3 complex, is predominantly expressed in inflammatory cells.plays a critical role in regulation of cellular iron metabolism and macrophage phenotype.belongs to the actin depolymerization factor/cofilin family and modulates actin cytoskeleton reorganization in microvascular endothelial cells and human airway smooth muscle.
Biochemical Properties Tyr-104 is a pivotal phosphorylation site on GMF-γ.Phosphorylation at Tyr-104 creates negative charges on the molecule, inducing conformational changes and the dissociation of GMF-γ from Arp2/3, which in turn modulates actin dynamics and cell contraction.
Significance in milk There is Increased expression of glia maturation factor gamma mRNA in the liver of feed-restricted cows,might be associated with disease pathogenesis.

Significance of PTMs Acetylcholine stimulation increased GMF-γ phosphorylation at Tyr-104. GMF-γ phosphorylation at this residue was mediated by c-Abl tyrosine kinase which has been found to regulate actin dynamics and contraction in human airway smooth muscle.
Additional Comments GMFG-knockdown murine macrophages exhibit an iron deficiency response and polarization toward the M2 phenotype.GMFG knockdown significantly decreased basal oxygen consumption.
