VAM1 Proteins and Enzymes

Members of the peripheral membrane-associated guanylate kinase (MAGUK) family function in tumor suppression and receptor clustering by forming multiprotein complexes containing distinct sets of transmembrane, cytoskeletal, and cytoplasmic signaling proteins. All MAGUKs contain a PDZ-SH3-GUK core and are divided into 4 subfamilies, DLG-like, ZO1-like, p55-like and LIN2-like, based on their size and the presence of additional domains. MPP6 is a member of the p55-like MAGUK subfamily.
