| Primary Identifier | MGI:97845 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 19353 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables G protein activity; GTP binding activity; and GTP-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of protein localization; and regulation of cell migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; generation of neurons; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Located in several cellular components, including kinocilium; pericentriolar material; and ruffle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesoderm; eye; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 48; colorectal cancer (multiple); lung cancer; and pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Orthologous to human RAC1 (Rac family small GTPase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit embryonic lethality prior to embryonic day 9.5 with defects in gastrulation. Neutrophil specific knockout mice show defects in inflammatory recruitment and chemotactic responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
