Official Full Name: ras homolog family member U
Also known as: ARHU; G28K; WRCH1; hG28K; CDC42L1
This gene encodes a member of the Rho family of gtpases. This protein activates PAK1 and JNK1 and induces filopodia formation and stress fibril lysis. It may also mediate the role of WNT1 signaling in regulating cell morphology, cytoskeletal organization and cell proliferation. A non-coding transcript variant of this gene results from naturally occurring read-through transcription between this locus and the neighboring DUSP5P (dual specificity phosphatase 5 pseudogene) locus.
