Abstract
Response gene to complement-32(RGC-32)as one of important response genes to complement,involves in many biological functions. Recent studies found that many factors could induce the expression of RGC-32 such as membrane attack complex,cortical hormones,growth factors, luteinizing hormone and transforming growth factor-β and so on. The expression products of RGC-32 play a key role in cell proliferation, differentiation, inflammation, tumor metastasis and other processes, thus to participate in the occurrence of many diseases' development processes. However, it has not be clarified in its exact cell biological function, subcellular localization, gene regulation mechanism. This article will make a brief review on gene structure, functions and roles in cell biology as well as the relationship between human diseases for RGC-32. Key words: RGC-32; Membrane attack complex; Proliferation and differentiation; Transforming growth factor-β; Renal tubular epithelial-mesenchymal transition
