Chimerin 1 (CHN1) also known as alpha-1-chimerin n-chimerin is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CHN1 gene.Chimerin 1 is a GTPase activating protein specific for RAC GTP-binding proteins. It is expressed primarily in the brain and may be involved in signal transduction. This gene encodes GTPase-activating protein for p21-rac and a phorbol ester receptor. It plays an important role in ocular motor axon pathfinding.
