Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. The protein encoded by this gene can bind to and inhibit the dipeptidyl peptidase activity of CD26, and it can induce apoptosis in certain cell types. Deletion mutations in this gene are associated with Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome, also known as Simpson dysmorphia syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Involved in several processes, including epidermis morphogenesis; nematode larval development; and neuron migration. Predicted to be located in cell surface. Expressed in neuroblasts and ventral cord neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Keipert syndrome; hepatocellular carcinoma; and omodysplasia 1. Is an ortholog of several human genes including GPC1 (glypican 1); GPC4 (glypican 4); and GPC6 (glypican 6).
Predicted to enable mRNA binding activity. Located in nucleus. Expressed widely. Is an ortholog of human HNRNPR (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein R) and SYNCRIP (synaptotagmin binding cytoplasmic RNA interacting protein).
Predicted to enable peptidyl-dipeptidase inhibitor activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and positive regulation of Wnt signaling pathway, planar cell polarity pathway. Located in plasma membrane. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 1 and nephroblastoma. Orthologous to human GPC3 (glypican 3); PARTICIPATES IN glypican signaling pathway; Hedgehog signaling pathway; INTERACTS WITH 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane; 17alpha-ethynylestradiol; 17beta-estradiol.
This gene is located on the X chromosome and encodes a centrosomal protein. A knockout mouse model has been used to study the effect of mutations in this gene. The mouse gene is also located on the X chromosome, however, unlike the human gene it is not subject to X inactivation. Mutations in this gene are associated with oral-facial-digital syndrome type I and Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome type 2. Many pseudogenes have been identified; a single pseudogene is found on chromosome 5 while as many as fifteen have been found on the Y chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2016]
Is affected by clk-1 and sir-2.1 based on microarray studies. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: 7TM GPCR, serpentine receptor class r (Str) and Serpentine type 7TM GPCR chemoreceptor Str.
Cell surface heparan sulfate proteoglycans are composed of a membrane-associated protein core substituted with a variable number of heparan sulfate chains. Members of the glypican-related integral membrane proteoglycan family (GRIPS) contain a core protein anchored to the cytoplasmic membrane via a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol linkage. These proteins may play a role in the control of cell division and growth regulation. The GPC4 gene is adjacent to the 3' end of GPC3 and may also play a role in Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome.

NAD-dependent (R,R)-butanediol dehydrogenase; catalyzes oxidation of (R,R)-2,3-butanediol to (3R)-acetoin, oxidation of meso-butanediol to (3S)-acetoin, and reduction of acetoin; enhances use of 2,3-butanediol as an aerobic carbon source
