FGD1 FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1

Gene ID: 2245, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AAS; FGDY; MRXS16; ZFYVE3

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that contains Dbl (DH) and pleckstrin (PH) homology domains and is similar to the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein specifically binds to the Rho family GTPase Cdc42Hs and can stimulate the GDP-GTP exchange of the isoprenylated form of Cdc42Hs. It also stimulates the mitogen activated protein kinase cascade leading to c-Jun kinase SAPK/JNK1 activation. Defects in this gene are the cause of the faciogenital dysplasia in Aarskog-Scott syndrome and a syndromatic form of X-linked cognitive disability. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2017]
