IQSEC2 IQ motif and Sec7 domain ArfGEF 2

Gene ID: 23096, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MRX1; BRAG1; MRX18; MRX78; XLID1; IQ-ArfGEF

Summary

This gene encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor for the ARF family of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein is a component of the postsynaptic density at excitatory synapses, and may play a critical role in cytoskeletal and synaptic organization through the activation of selected ARF substrates including ARF1 and ARF6. Mutations in this gene have been implicated in nonsyndromic X-linked cognitive disability. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
