Gene:
CDC42 effector protein (Rho GTPase binding) 5
Gene ID:
205438
Symbol:
CDC42EP5
Species:
1000
Description:
CDC42, a small Rho GTPase, regulates the formation of F-actin-containing structures through its interaction with the downstream effector proteins. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the Borg family of CDC42 effector proteins. Borg family proteins contain a CRIB (Cdc42/Rac interactive-binding) domain. They bind to, and negatively regulate the function of, CDC42. The specific function of this protein has not yet been determined.
