  Domain Name: BAR_OPHN1
The Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain of Oligophrenin-1. BAR domains are dimerization, lipid binding and curvature sensing modules found in many different proteins with diverse functions. Oligophrenin-1 (OPHN1) is a GTPase activating protein (GAP) with activity towards RhoA, Rac, and Cdc42, that is expressed in developing spinal cord and in adult brain areas with high plasticity. It plays a role in regulating the actin cystoskeleton as well as morphology changes in axons and dendrites, and may also function in modulating neuronal connectivity. Mutations in the OPHN1 gene causes X-linked mental retardation associated with cerebellar hypoplasia, lateral ventricle enlargement and epilepsy. OPHN1 contains an N-terminal BAR domain, followed by a Pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, and a Rho GAP domain. BAR domains form dimers that bind to membranes, induce membrane bending and curvature, and may also be involved in protein-protein interactions.
No pairwise interactions are available for this conserved domain.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
