Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 58480
Gene name Ras homolog family member U
Gene symbol RHOU
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ARHUCDC42L1G28KWRCH1hG28K
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q42.13
Summary This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of GTPases. This protein can activate PAK1 and JNK1, and can induce filopodium formation and stress fiber dissolution. It may also mediate the effects of WNT1 signaling in the regulation of cell morphology, cyt
