IQGAP1 IQ motif containing GTPase activating protein 1

Gene ID: 8826, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SAR1; p195; HUMORFA01

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the IQGAP family. The protein contains four IQ domains, one calponin homology domain, one Ras-GAP domain and one WW domain. It interacts with components of the cytoskeleton, with cell adhesion molecules, and with several signaling molecules to regulate cell morphology and motility. Expression of the protein is upregulated by gene amplification in two gastric cancer cell lines. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
