Description: Homo sapiens Rho GTPase activating protein 26 (ARHGAP26), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_015071): Interaction of a cell with the extracellular matrix triggers integrin cell surface receptors to begin signaling cascades that regulate the organization of the actin-cytoskeleton. One of the proteins involved in these cascades is focal adhesion kinase. The protein encoded by this gene is a GTPase activating protein that binds to focal adhesion kinase and mediates the activity of the GTP binding proteins RhoA and Cdc42. Defects in this gene are a cause of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr5:142,150,292-142,608,572 Size: 458,281 Total Exon Count: 23 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr5:142,150,327-142,602,011 Size: 451,685 Coding Exon Count: 23
ID:RHG26_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Rho GTPase-activating protein 26; AltName: Full=GTPase regulator associated with focal adhesion kinase; AltName: Full=Oligophrenin-1-like protein; AltName: Full=Rho-type GTPase-activating protein 26; FUNCTION: GTPase-activating protein for RHOA and CDC42. SUBUNIT: Interacts with NYAP1, NYAP2 and MYO16 (By similarity). Binds to the C-terminus of PTK2/FAK1. INTERACTION: Q6P5Z2:PKN3; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-1390913, EBI-1384335; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, focal adhesion (By similarity). Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton (By similarity). Note=Colocalizes with actin stress fibers and cortical actin structures (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in ARHGAP26 are a cause of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) [MIM:607785]. JMML is a pediatric myelodysplastic syndrome that constitutes approximately 30% of childhood cases of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 2% of leukemia. Chromosomal translocation t(5;11)(q31;q23) with MLL has been found in a JMML patient. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 PH domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 Rho-GAP domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 SH3 domain.

Adiposity traits are associated with SNPs on the Affymetrix 100K SNP GeneChip. Replication of these initial findings is necessary. These data will serve as a resource for replication as more genes become identified with BMI and WC.

The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
