TCHP

TCHP (Trichoplein Keratin Filament Binding) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TCHP include Vulvar Sarcoma. Among its related pathways are Cytoskeleton remodeling Neurofilaments.

Trichoplein Keratin Filament Binding

Tumor suppressor which has the ability to inhibit cell growth and be pro-apoptotic during cell stress. Inhibits cell growth in bladder and prostate cancer cells by a down-regulation of HSPB1 by inhibiting its phosphorylation. May act as a 'capping' or 'branching' protein for keratin filaments in the cell periphery. May regulate K8/K18 filament and desmosome organization mainly at the apical or peripheral regions of simple epithelial cells (PubMed:15731013, PubMed:18931701).
Is a negative regulator of ciliogenesis (PubMed:25270598).

Ubiquitinated. Ubiquitination by the BCR(KCTD17) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex results in proteasomal degradation, and induces ciliogenesis.
