|
Function |
Activates CDC42, a member of the Ras-like family of Rho- and Rac proteins, by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Plays a role in regulating the actin cytoskeleton and cell shape. Activates MAPK8 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250}. Note=Concentrated in filopodia and poorly detected at lamellipodia. Binds along the sides of actin fibers (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in different tissues, including brain, cerebellum, peripheral nerve, skeletal muscle, heart, uterus, placenta and testis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17564959}.
