The protein encoded by this gene stimulates guanine nucleotide exchange on ARF1 and Rab proteins. This protein is thought to be involved in membrane transport processes[7]

Knowledge of the gene is facilitated by the discovery of a mouse mutation. The tambaleante (tbl) mutation arose spontaneously on the DW/J-Pas genetic background,[8] a recessive mutation of the Herc1 gene located on mouse chromosome 9 that increases Herc1 protein levels.[9] This protein is largely expressed in many tissues (Sanchez-Tena et al., 2016; https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000103657-HERC1/tissue) and multiple brain regions including the cerebellum (https://www.proteinatlas.org/ENSG00000103657-HERC1/brain).

Herc1-tbl (tambaleante) mutant mice are characterized by Purkinje cell loss.[8] In addition to the cerebellum, Herc1tbl mutants had lower dendritic spine widths in CA1 pyramidal neurons.[10] Herc1-tbl mutant mice are also characterized by cerebellar ataxia, an unstable gait, and a limb-flexion reflex triggered by tail lifting[9] seen in other cerebellar mutants, the reverse of the normal limb extensor reflex.[11]

Relative to wild-type mice, Herc1-tbl mutant mice fell sooner and more often from a rotarod,[12][13] fell sooner from a vertical pole,[14][9] slipped more often and took more time to reach the end of a stationary beam,[13] and had weaker forelimb grip strength measured by a grip strength meter.[12] The rotarod deficit was rescued when Herc1tbl mutants were bred with transgenic mice expressing normal human HERC1.[9] Herc1tbl mutants were also less adept at landing correctly on all four legs when released in the air.[14]

Biallelic HERC1 mutations were reported in two siblings with facial dysmorphism, macrocephaly, motor development delay, ataxic gait, hypotonia, and intellectual disability.[15] Likewise, a nonsense HERC1 variant was reported in one subject with an autosomal recessive condition consisting of facial dysmorphism, macrocephaly, epilepsy, motor development delay, cerebellar atrophy, and intellectual disability.[16] Facial dysmorphism, macrocephaly, and intellectual disability but without cerebellar ataxia were also reported in two siblings with a HERC1 splice variant mutation.[17] The lack of cerebellar involvement was ascribed either to the nature of the mutation or the influence of modifier genes. Another patient with a frameshift HERC1 mutation predicted to truncate the protein displayed facial dysmorphism, macrocephaly, epileptiform discharges, hypotonia, intellectual disability, and autistic features.[18]
