ARHGEF6 (COOL2, KIAA0006, PIXA, Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 6, Alpha-Pix, COOL-2, PAK-interacting Exchange Factor alpha, Rac/Cdc42 Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor 6) (PE)

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein coupled receptors. The encoded protein belongs to a family of cytoplasmic proteins that activate the Ras-like family of Rho proteins by exchanging bound GDP for GTP. It may form a complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. This protein is activated by PI3-kinase. Mutations in this gene can cause X-chromosomal non-specific mental retardation.
