ARHGAP25

Rho GTPase activating protein 25 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARHGAP25 gene.[1] The gene is also known as KAIA0053.[1] ARHGAP25 belongs to a family of Rho GTPase-modulating proteins that are implicated in actin remodeling, cell polarity, and cell migration.[2]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of ARHGAP25 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Arhgap25tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi[9][10] 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.[11][12][13]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[7][14] Twenty-one tests were carried out on homozygous-mutant mice and one significant abnormality was observed: abnormal retina morphology and pigmentation.[7]
