Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 109294 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity and guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within adult locomotory behavior; dendrite morphogenesis; and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in brain ventricular layer and gut. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Klatskin's tumor and cholangiocarcinoma. Orthologous to human PREX2 (phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate dependent Rac exchange factor 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for gene trapped alleles may exhibit abnormal Purkinje cell dendrite morphology, a mild motor coordination defect that progressively worsens with age, hypoactivity, impaired glucose tolerance and/or insulin resistance.
