Gene: ARHGEF26

Alternate names for this Gene: CSGEF|HMFN1864|SGEF

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the Rho-guanine nucleotide exchange factor (Rho-GEF) family. These proteins regulate Rho GTPases by catalyzing the exchange of GDP for GTP. The encoded protein specifically activates RhoG and plays a role in the promotion of macropinocytosis. Underexpression of the encoded protein may be a predictive marker of chemoresistant disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 3

Location in Chromosome : 3q25.2

Description of this Gene: Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 26

Type of Gene: protein-coding
