CCDC88C was identified as Dapple in a screen of mouse brain cDNAs for DVL1-interacting proteins (Oshita et al, 2003). CCDC88C binds to the PDZ domain of DVL through the three amino acids Gly-Cys-Val at the C-terminus, and this interaction negatively regulates canonical WNT signaling (Oshita et al, 2003; Ekici et al, 2010). Interaction between DVL and CCDC88C also regulates signaling in the non-canonical WNT pathway, where the interaction is required for aPKC-mediated RAC activation, lamellipodia formation and cell migration (Ishida-Takagisha et al, 2012).
