    Summary
    Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including Rho protein signal transduction; embryonic body morphogenesis; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in axon and cell body. Is expressed in nervous system; pharyngeal cell; seam cell; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease recessive intermediate C and autosomal recessive distal hereditary motor neuronopathy 4. Orthologous to several human genes including PLEKHG5 (pleckstrin homology and RhoGEF domain containing G5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
