ACTRT1 Gene

Name actin-related protein T1
Description This gene encodes a protein related to the cytoskeletal protein beta-actin. This protein is a major component of the calyx in the perinuclear theca of mammalian sperm heads, and it therefore likely functions in spermatid formation. This gene is intronless and is similar to a related gene located on chromosome 1. A related pseudogene has also been identified approximately 75 kb downstream of this gene on chromosome X.

Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Actin‐related protein T1 (ARP‑T1), encoded by the ACTRT1 gene, appears to serve dual roles in human physiology. First, ARP‑T1 is expressed in the testis during late spermatid differentiation where it localizes to specialized cytoskeletal structures (the sperm head calyx), suggesting a role in organizing or stabilizing sperm head architecture."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " \n Second, mutations in ACTRT1 have been implicated in Bazex‑Dupré‑Christol Syndrome (BDCS), a rare X‑linked condition characterized by basal cell carcinoma, follicular atrophoderma, and hypotrichosis. In this context, ARP‑T1 has been shown to interact with components involved in ciliogenesis, endosomal recycling, and septin ring formation. Notably, ARP‑T1 localizes to the midbody during cytokinesis and to the basal body of primary cilia, and reduced ARP‑T1 levels are associated with shortened cilia. Furthermore, ARP‑T1 can directly bind to the promoter of GLI1, leading to inhibition of Hedgehog signaling and reducing cell proliferation, thus underscoring its tumor‐suppressor properties"}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "2"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": ";."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In summary, ACTRT1/ARP‑T1 is critical for proper sperm structural differentiation and for the regulation of ciliary dynamics and signaling pathways that, when dysregulated, contribute to cancer development.\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "Hans Heid, Ulrike Figge, Stefanie Winter, et al.
