Gene: DOCK5
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the dedicator of cytokinesis protein family. Members of this family act as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for small Rho family G proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is thought to associate with adaptors CRK and CRKL, and function in regulation of intestinal epithelial cell spreading and migration on collagen IV. Similar proteins in mouse and zebrafish also function in myoblast fusion.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 8
Location in Chromosome : 8p21.2
Description of this Gene: dedicator of cytokinesis 5
Type of Gene: protein-coding
