AGAP2 ArfGAP with GTPase domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 2

Gene ID: 116986, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PIKE; GGAP2; CENTG1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the centaurin gamma-like family. It mediates anti-apoptotic effects of nerve growth factor by activating nuclear phosphoinositide 3-kinase. It is overexpressed in cancer cells, and promotes cancer cell invasion. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.
