Gene: DOCK4
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the dedicator of cytokinesis (DOCK) family and encodes a protein with a DHR-1 (CZH-1) domain, a DHR-2 (CZH-2) domain and an SH3 domain. This membrane-associated, cytoplasmic protein functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor and is involved in regulation of adherens junctions between cells. Mutations in this gene have been associated with ovarian, prostate, glioma, and colorectal cancers. Alternatively spliced variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described, but only one has been fully characterized.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
Location in Chromosome : 7q31.1
Description of this Gene: dedicator of cytokinesis 4
Type of Gene: protein-coding
