General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

Human-specific protein that acts as a key modifier of cortical connectivity in the human brain 1,2,3. Acts by inhibiting the functions of ancestral paralog SRGAP2/SRGAP2A, a postsynaptic protein that regulates excitatory and inhibitory synapse maturation and density in cortical pyramidal neurons 4,5. SRGAP2C is unstable but is able to heterodimerize with SRGAP2/SRGAP2A, thereby reducing SRGAP2/SRGAP2A levels through proteasome-dependent degradation 6,7,8. Inhibition of SRGAP2/SRGAP2A by SRGAP2C leads to an increase in synaptic density and protracted synaptic maturation of both excitatory and inhibitory synapses 9,10. Modifies cortical circuit connectivity by increasing the number of local and long-range cortical inputs received by layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons 11. Also able to increase the probability of sensory-evoked responses by layer 2/3 pyramidal neurons 12....show less

Gene summary (Entrez)i
Useful information about the gene from Entrez
This locus encodes a member of the SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein family. This human-specific locus resulted from segmental duplication of the SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein 2B locus. The encoded protein lacks the GTPase activating protein domain compared to proteins encoded by SLIT-ROBO Rho GTPase activating protein 2, and acts antagonistically to these proteins in cortical neuron development.

PROTEIN INFORMATIONi
The protein information section displays alternative protein-coding transcripts (splice variants) encoded by this gene according to the Ensembl database.
The ENSP identifier links to the Ensembl website protein summary, while the ENST identifier links to the Ensembl website transcript summary for the selected splice variant. The data in the UniProt column can be expanded to show links to all matching UniProt identifiers for this protein.
The protein classes assigned to this protein are shown if expanding the data in the protein class column. Parent protein classes are in bold font and subclasses are listed under the parent class.
The Gene Ontology terms assigned to this protein are listed if expanding the Gene ontology column. The length of the protein (amino acid residues according to Ensembl), molecular mass (kDalton), predicted signal peptide (according to a majority of the signal peptide predictors SPOCTOPUS, SignalP 4.0, and Phobius) and the number of predicted transmembrane region(s) (according to MDM) are also reported.
