Function |
May play a role in regulating lymphocyte apoptosis (By similarity). Exhibits intrisinic GTPase activity. Shows a higher affinity for GDP over GTP (about 12-fold higher), and binding shows an absolute requirement for magnesium. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23454188}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes that contain mostly T- and B-lymphocytes. Expressed specifically in resting T- and B-lymphocytes and expression significantly decreases during B- or T-lymphocyte activation. Expressed at lower levels in thymus, ovary, colon and small intestine. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23454188}.
