ARHGAP18

Last updated

Rho GTPase activating protein 18 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARHGAP18 gene. [1] The gene is also known as MacGAP and bA307O14.2. [1] ARHGAP18 belongs to a family of Rho GTPase-activating proteins that modulate cell signaling. [2]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of ARHGAP18 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Arhgap18tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi [7] [8] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists. [9] [10] [11]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion. [5] [12] Twenty three tests were carried out on mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed. [5] Fewer than expected homozygous mutant embryos were identified during gestation. [5]

Centromere protein J is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPJ gene. It is also known as centrosomal P4.1-associated protein (CPAP). During cell division, this protein plays a structural role in the maintenance of centrosome integrity and normal spindle morphology, and it is involved in microtubule disassembly at the centrosome. This protein can function as a transcriptional coactivator in the Stat5 signaling pathway and also as a coactivator of NF-kappaB-mediated transcription, likely via its interaction with the coactivator p300/CREB-binding protein.
