Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables GTPase activator activity. Involved in negative regulation of fibroblast proliferation and regulation of postsynapse organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; negative regulation of cell development; and nervous system development. Located in cytoplasm. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and integumental system. Used to study juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia; malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor; and neurofibromatosis 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Watson syndrome; autistic disorder; hematologic cancer (multiple); neurofibromatosis 1 (multiple); and peripheral nervous system neoplasm (multiple).
