**Summary:** The ABR gene encodes a protein called ABR, which is an activator of the RhoGEF and GTPase signaling pathways. It is significantly expressed in various cell types, including mature microglial cells, pigmented epithelial cells, central nervous system macrophages, astrocytes, and interneurons. **Key characteristics:** - The ABR gene is a member of the RhoGEF family of guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-binding proteins. - It is a key regulator of cell death signaling pathways, including the cdc42 gtpase, nrage, nrif, and nade pathways. - It is also involved in the G alpha (12/13) signaling events, Gpcr downstream signaling, Guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity, and Nrage signals death through jnk, P75 ntr receptor-mediated signaling, Rac1 gtpase cycle, Rac2 gtpase cycle, Rac3 gtpase cycle, Rhoa gtpase cycle, Rhob gtpase cycle, Rho gtpase cycle, and signaling by gpcr. **Pathways and functions:** - Activation of the ABR gene leads to the activation of the RhoGEF and GTPase signaling pathways. - These pathways are involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and inflammation. - In the context of cell death, ABR signaling promotes cell death through the cdc42 gtpase, nrage, nrif, and nade pathways. - It also plays a role in promoting cell death in response to various stimuli, including ischemia, oxidative stress, and neurotoxic agents. **Clinical significance:** - Aberrant expression of the ABR gene has been linked to various neurological diseases, including multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, and Alzheimer's disease. - Targeting the ABR gene has been explored as a therapeutic strategy for these diseases. - However, the development of effective anti-ABR therapies has proven challenging due to the complex and multifaceted nature of the disease.
