Description

RHBDL1 (Rhomboid Like 1) encodes a serine protease belonging to the rhomboid family of intramembrane proteases. The protein localizes to the Golgi apparatus and cleaves membrane-tethered substrates, playing roles in growth factor signaling, cell migration, and development. RHBDL1 is involved in the regulated intramembrane proteolysis of proteins such as Spitz and Keren in Drosophila, and its human ortholog participates in similar signaling pathways.

Disease Associations

Disease category Pathophysiological mechanism Genomic evidence
Cancer (various types) RHBDL1 overexpression may promote tumor cell migration and invasion through cleavage of membrane-bound substrates, altering signaling pathways. COSMIC database reports somatic mutations in multiple cancer types.
Alzheimer's disease Potential involvement in APP processing; RHBDL1 can cleave APP within its transmembrane domain, possibly contributing to amyloid-beta production. UniProt annotation; limited direct evidence.

Protein Summary

RHBDL1 is a 7-transmembrane domain serine protease that cleaves substrates within the lipid bilayer. It is synthesized as a zymogen and undergoes autocatalytic processing to generate an active enzyme. The protein is predominantly localized to the Golgi apparatus and is involved in the cleavage of membrane-tethered growth factors and receptors, thereby modulating cell signaling and development.
