Fgd1 - FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1 Gene

Also Known as ZFYVE3

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 14163

Summary

This gene encodes a member of family of Rho-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors. Rho-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factors catalyze the exchange of GDP for GTP and activate small GTPases, which function as molecular switches in signaling. This protein specifically binds cell division cycle 42, a Rho (Ras homology) GTPase. Investigations in mouse suggest that this protein is important for skeletal mineralization and for regulating the actin Cytoskeleton. In humans, mutations in this gene are associated with faciogenital dysplasia, also known as Aarskog-Scott syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2014]
