Overview of Gene Research
ASAP3, also known as DDEFL1, ACAP4, and UPLC1, is an Arf GTPase-activating protein. It is involved in regulating Arfs by stimulating their intrinsic GTP hydrolysis. ASAP3 is associated with multiple biological activities, including cell migration, invasion, and cytoskeletal remodeling, and is also linked to the NF-κB and NOTCH signaling pathways. Its functions are crucial in normal cell processes and have implications in disease development [4,5].

In conditional knockout (CKO) mouse models, deletion of ASAP3 in parietal cells led to elongation and stacking of microvilli, decreased gastric acid secretion, and active assembly of F-actin due to a higher level of GTP-bound Arf6 GTPase, suggesting its role in regulating microvilli structure and gastric acidity [2]. In cancer research, down-regulation of ASAP3 in various cancer cell lines (such as lung adenocarcinoma, non-small cell lung cancer, and colorectal cancer cells) inhibited cell migration, invasion, and proliferation. For example, in lung adenocarcinoma, ASAP3 overexpression promoted cell migration and tumor progression, and was a downstream target of HIF-1α [1,3,5,6,7].

In summary, ASAP3 is essential for regulating cell movement, cytoskeletal structure, and is involved in disease-related processes such as cancer progression and gastric acidity-associated disorders. The use of CKO mouse models has been instrumental in revealing its role in microvilli structure regulation in parietal cells, while in vitro loss-of-function experiments in cancer cell lines have shown its significance in cancer development, providing potential therapeutic targets for related diseases [2,1,3,5,6,7].
