Summary
Enables GTPase activator activity. Involved in negative regulation of filopodium assembly. Located in dendrite; postsynapse; and presynapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density; and presynaptic active zone. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acquired immunodeficiency syndrome and skin melanoma. Orthologous to human ARHGAP44 (Rho GTPase activating protein 44). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
