RACGAP1 Gene Information

HGNC symbol
RACGAP1 
Aliases
MgcRacGAP 
Common name
Rac GTPase activating protein 1 
Entrez Id
29127
Description
This gene encodes a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that is a compoment of the centralspindlin complex. This protein binds activated forms of Rho GTPases and stimulates GTP hydrolysis, which results in negative regulation of Rho-mediated signals. This protein plays a regulatory role in cytokinesis, cell growth, and differentiation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. There is a pseudogene for this gene on chromosome 12. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016].
