CCDC88C (coiled-coil and HOOK domain protein 88C) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
Required for activation of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) during non-canonical Wnt signalling. Binds to ligand-activated Wnt receptor FZD7, displacing DVL1 from the FZD7 receptor and leading to inhibition of canonical Wnt signalling. Acts as a non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor by also binding to guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(i) alpha (Gi-alpha) subunits, leading to their activation.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.52 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.70, animal model 0.74, genetic association 0.64).
In plain words · CCDC88C (coiled-coil and HOOK domain protein 88C) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.

Required for activation of guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) during non-canonical Wnt signalling. Binds to ligand-activated Wnt receptor FZD7, displacing DVL1 from the FZD7 receptor and leading to inhibition of canonical Wnt signalling. Acts as a non-receptor guanine nucleotide exchange factor by also binding to guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(i) alpha (Gi-alpha) subunits, leading to their activation. Binding to Gi-alpha subunits displaces the beta and gamma subunits from the heterotrimeric G protein complex, triggering non-canonical Wnt responses such as activation of RAC1 and PI3K-AKT signalling. Promotes apical constriction of cells via ARHGEF18. Location: Cytoplasm; Cell junction (UniProt). Locus 14q32.11-q32.12 (HGNC).
