Gene: DLC1
Alternate names for this Gene: ARHGAP7|HP|STARD12|p122-RhoGAP
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) that is a member of the rhoGAP family of proteins which play a role in the regulation of small GTP-binding proteins. GAP family proteins participate in signaling pathways that regulate cell processes involved in cytoskeletal changes. This gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene in a number of common cancers, including prostate, lung, colorectal, and breast cancers. Multiple transcript variants due to alternative promoters and alternative splicing have been found for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8p22
Description of this Gene: DLC1 Rho GTPase activating protein
Type of Gene: protein-coding
