SRGAP2 SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein 2

Gene ID: 23380, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: FNBP2; SRGAP3; SRGAP2A; ARHGAP34

Summary

This locus encodes a member of the SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein family. The encoded protein stimulates GTPase activity of Rac1, and plays a role in cortical neuron development. This locus has several paralogs on human chromosome 1 resulting from segmental duplication. While this locus itself is conserved among various species, the paralogs are found only in the genus Homo, and not in the genomes of non-human great apes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this locus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
