| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.1.0) Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in regulation of postsynaptic specialization assembly. Located in postsynaptic density. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; ear; and testis. Used to study developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 8. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 8. Orthologous to human ARHGEF9 (Cdc42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor 9). PHENOTYPE: Male mice hemizygous for a null allele exhibit impaired spatial learning, increased anxiety-associated behaviors, and altered central nervous system synaptic transmission.
