GeneID: 268



Names

Common Name: RHPN2 Type: Gene
Chromosome: 19 (NC_000019.10) Locus: NM_033103.5 (RHPN2)
HUGO Symbol: RHPN2 Full Name: rhophilin Rho GTPase binding protein 2
Exons: 15 Introns: 14

Description:
This gene encodes a member of the rhophilin family of Ras-homologous (Rho)-GTPase binding proteins. The encoded protein binds both GTP- and GDP-bound RhoA and GTP-bound RhoB and may be involved in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. Rho GTPases infuence progression through the cell cycle and have been investigated as targets for cancer intervention. A variation in RHPN2 associated with Hb F response to hydroxyurea in sickle cell disease cohorts.

Synonyms: RHOBP , P76RBE
