medicine | hypoxia triggers relocalization of furin from the trans-Golgi network to endosomomal compartments and the cell surface in cancer cells. Exposing these cells back to normoxic conditions reverses furin redistribution, suggesting that the tumor microenvironment modulates furin trafficking in a highly regulated manner. Both Rab4GTPase-dependent recycling and interaction of furin with the cytoskeletal anchoring protein, filamin-A, are essential for the cell surface relocalization of furin. Interference with the association of furin with filamin A, prevents cell surface relocalization of furin and abolishes the ability of cancer cells to migrate in response to hypoxia | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | hypoxia triggers relocalization of furin from the trans-Golgi network to endosomomal compartments and the cell surface in cancer cells. Exposing these cells back to normoxic conditions reverses furin redistribution, suggesting that the tumor microenvironment modulates furin trafficking in a highly regulated manner. Both Rab4GTPase-dependent recycling and interaction of furin with the cytoskeletal anchoring protein, filami A, are essential for the cell surface relocalization of furin.
