    Summary
    Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in negative regulation of synapse maturation and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within retina vasculature morphogenesis in camera-type eye. Located in dendrite. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; alimentary system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human ARHGEF15 (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 15). [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.
