Summary
ARHGEF28 (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 28, HGNC:30322) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5q13.2, encoding Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 28 (Q8N1W1). Functions as a RHOA-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor regulating signaling pathways downstream of integrins and growth factor receptors.
This gene encodes a member of the Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor family. The encoded protein interacts with low molecular weight neurofilament mRNA and may be involved in the formation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis neurofilament aggregates. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 44 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
