GBF1 golgi brefeldin A resistant guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1

Gene ID: 8729, updated on 4-Jan-2025
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CMT2GG; CMTDI2; CMTDIA; ARF1GEF

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Sec7 domain family. The encoded protein is a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that regulates the recruitment of proteins to membranes by mediating GDP to GTP exchange. The encoded protein is localized to the Golgi apparatus and plays a role in vesicular trafficking by activating ADP ribosylation factor 1. The encoded protein has also been identified as an important host factor for viral replication. Multiple transcript variants have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2010]
