Also known as ZFYVE3
Summary
FGD1 (FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain containing 1, HGNC:3663) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome Xp11.22, encoding FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein 1 (P98174). Activates CDC42, a member of the Ras-like family of Rho- and Rac proteins, by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. It is haploinsufficient (ClinGen: sufficient evidence).
This gene encodes a protein that contains Dbl (DH) and pleckstrin (PH) homology domains and is similar to the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein specifically binds to the Rho family GTPase Cdc42Hs and can stimulate the GDP-GTP exchange of the isoprenylated form of Cdc42Hs. It also stimulates the mitogen activated protein kinase cascade leading to c-Jun kinase SAPK/JNK1 activation. Defects in this gene are the cause of the faciogenital dysplasia in Aarskog-Scott syndrome and a syndromatic form of X-linked cognitive disability.
