Synthesized peptide derived from human FGD1 AA range: 508-558
Alternative Names:
FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein 1 (Faciogenital dysplasia 1 protein) (Rho/Rac guanine nucleotide exchange factor FGD1) (Rho/Rac GEF) (Zinc finger FYVE domain-containing protein 3)
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 faciogenital dysplasia and X-linked mental retardation, syndromatic 16.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011],
