Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: GFI2; p190-B; RhoGAP5; p190BRhoGAP

Summary

Rho GTPase activating protein 5 negatively regulates RHO GTPases, a family which may mediate cytoskeleton changes by stimulating the hydrolysis of bound GTP. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
