Chromosome | X | NCBI Gene Number | 73341 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in lamellipodium assembly. Located in cell-cell junction and lamellipodium. Is expressed in liver; somite; testis; and unsegmented mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability. Orthologous to human ARHGEF6 (Rac/Cdc42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a truncated allele exhibit decreased mature lymphocyte cell numbers, decreased B and T cell proliferation, and defective humeral response. Mice homozygous for a reporter allele exhibit abnormal dendrite morphology and synaptic plasticity and cognitive defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
