Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncyk-4 encodes a Rho GAP (Rho guanosine triphosphatase (GTPase) activating protein); during development, cyk-4 is required for two different processes: 1) paternally provided CYK-4 regulates anterior-posterior polarity in the one-cell embryo by controlling the actomyosin cytoskeletal network, and 2) together with ZEN-4, CYK-4 is sufficient to promote formation of the large bundles of microtubules that form the central spindle during anaphase and polarize the foregut epithelium; in addition, CYK-4 is required for fertility and coordinated locomotion postembryonically; CYK-4 is enriched in sperm and also localizes to the central spindle during anaphase interdependently with ZEN-4; CYK-4 interacts with ZEN-4 in vitro and in vivo.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00004196

Automated_descriptionEnables GTPase activator activity. Involved in mitotic cleavage furrow ingression; mitotic spindle midzone assembly; and polar body extrusion after meiotic divisions. Located in mitotic spindle midzone and plasma membrane. Part of centralspindlin complex. Expressed in germ cell; gonad; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital dyserythropoietic anemia. Is an ortholog of human RACGAP1 (Rac GTPase activating protein 1).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
