NCIt definition : Human DEPDC5 wild-type allele is located within 22q12.2-q12.3 and is approximately
153 kb in length. This allele, which encodes GATOR complex protein DEPDC5, is involved
in the modulation of signaling by Ras-related GTP-binding proteins. Mutations in this
gene are associated with autosomal dominant familial focal epilepsy with variable
foci and with an increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma in individuals with chronic
hepatitis C virus infection.;
NCIt note : This gene encodes a subunit of the GATOR1 (GAP Activity TOward Rags 1) complex, which
inhibits the amino acid-sensing branch of the mTORC1 pathway.;
