Mitochondrial Rho GTPase 1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RHOT1 gene.[1][2]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of RHOT1 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Rhot1tm1a(EUCOMM)Wtsi[7][8] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[9][10][11]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[5][12] Twenty six tests were carried out on mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: no homozygous mutants survived until weaning. The remaining tests were carried out on heterozygous mutant adult mice and no further abnormalities were observed.[5]
