The gec1/GABARAPL1 (GABA(A)-receptor-associated protein like-1) gene has been identified as an early estrogen-regulated gene in guinea-pig cultured endometrial glandular epithelial cells (GEC). Guinea-pig and human gec1/GABARAPL1 proteins share 87% identity with GABARAP, which acts as a protein linker between microtubules and the GABA(A) receptor. To investigate the molecular mechanisms regulating gec1/GABARAPL1 gene expression, the 1.

Article Synopsis
  • GABARAP and gec1/GABARAPL1 are genes that code for similar proteins in a new family of microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs).
  • These proteins may play a role in clustering, targeting, or degrading GABA(A) receptors on neurons' post-synaptic membranes.
  • In a study of 76 human tissues, gec1/GABARAPL1 was found to be more expressed in the central nervous system, while GABARAP had higher expression in endocrine glands.
