Also known as RhoGAP2ARHGAP2n-chimerin
Summary
CHN1 (chimerin 1, HGNC:1943) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q31.1, encoding N-chimaerin (P15882). GTPase-activating protein for p21-rac and a phorbol ester receptor.
This gene encodes GTPase-activating protein for ras-related p21-rac and a phorbol ester receptor. It is predominantly expressed in neurons, and plays an important role in neuronal signal-transduction mechanisms. Mutations in this gene are associated with Duane’s retraction syndrome 2 (DURS2). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 24)

- We found no evidence for a causative involvement of CHN1 mutations in congenital ocular motor anomalies different from autosomal dominant Duane’s retraction syndrome (PMID:20535495)
- Members of families segregating Duane retraction syndrome (DRS) as an autosomal dominant trait should be screened for mutations in the CHN1 gene, enhancing genetic counseling and permitting earlier diagnosis. (PMID:21555619)
- Analysis of the current pedigree expands the phenotypic spectrum of hyperactivating CHN1 mutations to include vertical strabismus and supraduction deficits in the absence of Duane retraction syndrome. (PMID:21715346)
- The patients most similar belong to families with a small or absent cranial nerve VI and septo-optic hypoplasia who carry CHN1 mutations (PMID:25331612)

Function. GTPase-activating protein for p21-rac and a phorbol ester receptor. Involved in the assembly of neuronal locomotor circuits as a direct effector of EPHA4 in axon guidance.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with EPHA4; effector of EPHA4 in axon guidance linking EPHA4 activation to RAC1 regulation.
Tissue specificity. In neurons in brain regions that are involved in learning and memory processes.
Post-translational modifications. Phosphorylated. Phosphorylation is EPHA4 kinase activity-dependent.
Disease relevance. Duane retraction syndrome 2 (DURS2) [MIM:604356] A form of Duane retraction syndrome, a congenital eye movement disorder characterized by a failure of cranial nerve VI (the abducens nerve) to develop normally, resulting in restriction or absence of abduction, adduction or both, narrowing of the palpebral fissure, and retraction of the globe on attempted adduction. Undiagnosed in children, it can lead to amblyopia, a permanent uncorrectable loss of vision. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 20 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.
