Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including caveola assembly; cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; and cellular response to epidermal growth factor stimulus. Acts upstream of or within fibroblast migration; negative regulation of dephosphorylation; and regulation of cytokine production. Located in several cellular components, including basolateral plasma membrane; focal adhesion; and lateral plasma membrane. Part of ribonucleoprotein complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system gland. Orthologous to human IQGAP1 (IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null allele exhibit a late-onset gastric hyperplasia. [provided by MGI curators] |
