Fgd1, the Cdc42 guanine nucleotide exchange factor responsible for faciogenital dysplasia, is localized to the subcortical actin cytoskeleton and Golgi membrane
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
FGD1, the gene responsible for the inherited disease faciogenital dysplasia, encodes a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that specifically activates the p21 GTPase Cdc42. In order, FGD1 is composed of a proline-rich N-terminal region, adjacent GEF and pleckstrin homology (PH) domains, a FYVE-finger domain and a second C-terminal PH domain (PH2), structural motifs involved in signaling and subcellular...
