Function |
Functions as guanine nucleotide exchange factor for RAC1. May play a role in semaphorin signaling. Plays a role in the assembly and disassembly of dendritic filopodia, the formation of dendritic spines, regulation of dendrite length and ultimately the formation of synapses (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell junction, synapse. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendritic spine {ECO:0000250}. Note=Recruited to the cell membrane via interaction with CADM1. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Detected in cAMP-treated chondrocytes, but not in untreated chondrocytes. Detected in fetal brain, heart and spleen, and in adult testis, kidney and lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9425278}.
