YWHAG

14-3-3 protein gamma is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the YWHAG is_associated_with::gene.

This gene product belongs to the is_associated_with::14-3-3 protein family which mediate is_associated_with::signal transduction by binding to phosphoserine-containing proteins. This highly conserved protein family is found in both plants and mammals, and this protein is 100% identical to the rat ortholog. It is induced by is_associated_with::growth factors in human is_associated_with::vascular smooth muscle cells, and is also highly expressed in skeletal and is_associated_with::heart muscles, suggesting an important role for this protein in muscle tissue. It has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::RAF1 and is_associated_with::protein kinase C, proteins involved in various signal transduction pathways.

Interactions
YWHAG has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::C-Raf,  is_associated_with::EPB41L3, is_associated_with::KIF1C and is_associated_with::Stratifin.
