    Summary
    Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in dendritic cell migration; positive regulation of T cell migration; and positive regulation of establishment of T cell polarity. Acts upstream of or within immunological synapse formation and negative regulation of T cell apoptotic process. Located in cell leading edge. Is expressed in central nervous system; retina; and thymus primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in atopic dermatitis; bacterial infectious disease; hyper IgE recurrent infection syndrome 2; immune dysregulation-polyendocrinopathy-enteropathy-X-linked syndrome; and viral infectious disease (multiple). Orthologous to human DOCK8 (dedicator of cytokinesis 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

    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.
