Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) 12 (ARHGEF12) is a gene that encodes a protein that functions as a Rho GTPase. The protein is involved in cellular processes that are propagated by G protein-coupled receptors. The protein may form a complex with G proteins and initiates Rho-dependent signaling. Fusions, missense mutations, nonsense mutations, silent mutations, and frameshift deletions and insertions are observed in cancers such as endometrial cancer, intestinal cancer, and skin cancer.

ARHGEF12 is altered in 2.42% of all cancers with lung adenocarcinoma, colon adenocarcinoma, melanoma, endometrial endometrioid adenocarcinoma, and glioblastoma having the greatest prevalence of alterations [3].
