Summary: Enables GTPase activator activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including modification of dendritic spine; negative regulation of Rac protein signal transduction; and neurotransmitter receptor transport, endosome to postsynaptic membrane. Located in dendritic spine. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in central nervous system; olfactory epithelium; respiratory system; and retina. Orthologous to human ARHGAP44 (Rho GTPase activating protein 44). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RICH2 decreases the mitochondrial number and affects mitochondrial localization in diffuse low-grade glioma-related epilepsy.
Title: RICH2 decreases the mitochondrial number and affects mitochondrial localization in diffuse low-grade glioma-related epilepsy.
RICH2 knockout animals display a selective and highly significant fear of novel objects and increased stereotypic behavior as well as impairment of motor learning.
Title: Enlarged dendritic spines and pronounced neophobia in mice lacking the PSD protein RICH2.
These results suggested that Rich2 controls dendritic spine morphogenesis and function via inhibition of Rac1.
Title: Rho-GTPase-activating protein interacting with Cdc-42-interacting protein 4 homolog 2 (Rich2): a new Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate 1 (Rac1) GTPase-activating protein that controls dendritic spine morphogenesis.
Knock-down of Rich2 or disruption of Rich2-Shank3 complex, inhibits dendritic spine enlargement.
Title: Shank3-Rich2 interaction regulates AMPA receptor recycling and synaptic long-term potentiation.
Shows that the RhoGAP domain of the human RICH2 ortholog can catalyze GTP hydrolysis of both Rac1 and Cdc42, but not of RhoA.
Title: Rich, a rho GTPase-activating protein domain-containing protein involved in signaling by Cdc42 and Rac1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
