Gene: OPHN1
Alternate names for this Gene: ARHGAP41|MRX60|OPN1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a Rho-GTPase-activating protein that promotes GTP hydrolysis of Rho subfamily members. Rho proteins are important mediators of intracellular signal transduction, which affects cell migration and cell morphogenesis. Mutations in this gene are responsible for OPHN1-related X-linked cognitive disability with cerebellar hypoplasia and distinctive facial dysmorhphism.
Gene is located in Chromosome: X
Location in Chromosome : Xq12
Description of this Gene: oligophrenin 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
