Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionrhgf-2 encodes a Rho guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor (RhoGEF) with similarity to the mammalian PLEKHG5/Tech/Syx RhoGEFs; rhgf-2 is required for embryonic morphogenesis, larval development, and regulation of locomotion; when expressed in mammalian neuronal tissue culture cells, RHGF-2 induces cell rounding inhibits neurite outgrowth; RHGF-2 functions as a RhoGEF for the RHO-1 GTPase; RHGF-2 physically interacts with the multi-PDZ domain scaffold protein MPZ-1; RHGF-2 is expressed in many, but not all, C. elegans neurons from the 1.5-fold stage of embryogenesis through adulthood; in nerve ring axons, RHGF-2 expression overlaps with that of MPZ-1.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00040835

Automated_descriptionEnables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; embryonic body morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in axon and cell body. Expressed in several structures, including pharyngeal cell; seam cell; somatic nervous system; tail; and touch receptor neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease recessive intermediate C and distal spinal muscular atrophy type 4. Is an ortholog of human PLEKHG5 (pleckstrin homology and RhoGEF domain containing G5).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Reference (19)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
