rhgf-1 encodes an RGS RhoGEF (Regulator of G-protein Signaling Rho Guanine Nucleotide Exchange Factor); RHGF-1 functions within cholingergic motor neurons in one of four G-protein-mediated signaling pathways that control locomotion via regulation of acetylcholine (ACh) release at neuromuscular junctions; in regulating ACh release, RHGF-1 functions downstream of the C. elegans Galpha12 ortholog, GPA-12, and upstream of the Rho GTPase ortholog, RHO-1; additionally, rhgf-1 activity is required for normal mechanosensory behavior, egg laying, and embryonic development; an rhgf-1 reporter fusion is expressed in ventral cord motor neurons as well as several head neurons.
