Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in regulation of neuron projection development. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of stress fiber assembly; positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly; and positive regulation of small GTPase mediated signal transduction. Located in growth cone and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; eye; heart; liver; and lung. Used to study congenital nystagmus 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital nystagmus 1. Orthologous to human FRMD7 (FERM domain containing 7).
