About RTKN

Cytogenetic location: 2p13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:74,425,835-74,441,937 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 259 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in kidney (RPKM 18.1), brain (RPKM 12.5) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a scaffold protein that interacts with GTP-bound Rho proteins. Binding of this protein inhibits the GTPase activity of Rho proteins. This protein may interfere with the conversion of active, GTP-bound Rho to the inactive GDP-bound form by RhoGAP. Rho proteins regulate many important cellular processes, including cytokinesis, transcription, smooth muscle contraction, cell growth and transformation. Dysregulation of the Rho signal transduction pathway has been implicated in many forms of Cancer. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
