description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including GTPase activator activity; SH2 domain binding activity; and phospholipase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin cytoskeleton organization; focal adhesion assembly; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; caveola; and ruffle membrane. Predicted to be active in focal adhesion and membrane raft. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; heart; hemolymphoid system gland; neural ectoderm; and placenta. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colorectal cancer. Orthologous to human DLC1 (DLC1 Rho GTPase activating protein). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants die by E10.5 with variable defects in the neural tube, heart, brain and placenta. Mouse embryonic fibroblasts homozygous for an activated conditional allele exhibti increased sensitivity to Ras-induced transformation. [provided by MGI curators] |
