GPT2

---

Description

The GPT2 gene, formally known as "GTPase, IMAP family member 2", plays a pivotal role in cellular processes, especially during embryonic development and neuronal function. This gene encodes a protein that acts as a GTPase, a crucial enzyme involved in various cellular processes, such as signaling pathways, protein transport, and cytoskeletal regulation. The GPT2 protein‘s actions are essential for the proper formation and function of the nervous system, contributing to the development of crucial brain structures and neuronal connections. Mutations in the GPT2 gene can lead to a range of neurological disorders, highlighting its significance in maintaining proper brain development and function.
