DLC1 DLC1 Rho GTPase activating protein

Gene ID: 10395, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: HP; ARHGAP7; STARD12; p122-RhoGAP

Summary

This gene encodes a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that is a member of the rhoGAP family of proteins which play a role in the regulation of small GTP-binding proteins. GAP family proteins participate in signaling pathways that regulate cell processes involved in cytoskeletal changes. This gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene in a number of common cancers, including prostate, lung, colorectal, and breast cancers. Multiple transcript variants due to alternative promoters and alternative splicing have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Apr 2010]
