ARHGEF12 Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 12

Gene ID: 23365, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: LARG; PRO2792

Summary

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli working through G protein-coupled receptors. The encoded protein may form a complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. This protein has been observed to form a myeloid/lymphoid fusion partner in acute myeloid leukemia. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
