OPHN1 oligophrenin 1

Gene ID: 4983, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: OPN1; MRX60; MRXSBL; ARHGAP41

Summary

This gene encodes a Rho-GTPase-activating protein that promotes GTP hydrolysis of Rho subfamily members. Rho proteins are important mediators of intracellular signal transduction, which affects cell migration and cell morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are responsible for OPHN1-related X-linked cognitive disability with cerebellar hypoplasia and distinctive facial dysmorhphism. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
