SRGAP2 Gene Summary [Human]

This locus encodes a member of the SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein family. The encoded protein stimulates GTPase activity of Rac1, and plays a role in cortical neuron development. This locus has several paralogs on human chromosome 1 resulting from segmental duplication. While this locus itself is conserved among various species, the paralogs are found only in the genus Homo, and not in the genomes of non-human great apes. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this locus. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human SRGAP2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • RhoGAP domain
  • enzyme binding
  • protein homodimerization
  • Fes/CIP4, and EFC/F-BAR homology domain
  • GTPase activator
  • protein binding
  • GTPase-activator protein for Rho-like GTPases
  • RhoGAP
  • Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs domain
  • identical protein binding
  • protein heterodimerization
  • Src Homology 3 domain superfamily
