CATEGORY

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus
	intracellular,nuclear envelope

basic FUNCTION	may play a role in regulating lymphocyte homeostasis
	activating RhoA and involved in the control of neuronal cell differentiation
	regulates RhoA signaling pathways in developing and mature forebrain neurons
	recruited to junctions by members of the Crumbs polarity complex and promoted junction integrity by activating Diaphanous
	importance of PLEKHG5 function in maintaining stable cell-cell contacts
	RHOA-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor PLEKHG5 is required for the polarity of actively migrating brain and breast tumor cells (PMID
	recruitment of PLEKHG5 to the cell membrane and the subsequent selective activation of DIAPH1 signaling, coupled with the suppression of ROCK1 and activation of cofilin-mediated actin reorganization, plays a key role in establishing cell polarity during directed cell migration (PMID

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

AMOT forms a ternary complex together with INADL (or its paralogue MPDZ) and PLEKHG5

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacts directly with the adapter TRADD
	RND3 effector that interacts with RNDs via a RAF1-like Ras-binding domain
	RND1, RND2, and RND3 stability is acutely dependent on interaction with their effectors such as PLEKHG5 or ARHGAP35
	VEGFA caused translocation of PLEKHG5 from cell junctions, promoting junction disassembly, whereas ANGPT1 maintained PLEKHG5 at the junctions, inducing junction stabilization
	binding of 14-3-3 proteins inhibits the GEF activity of PLEKHG5
	may interact with a variety of partners including multiple PDZ domain protein 1 [MUPP1 or MPDZ)
	function of PLEKHG5 is mediated by the selective activation of the RHOA downstream effector DIAPH1 (PMID
	VEGFA induced interactions between NRP1 and GIPC1, a scaffold protein, and complex formation between GIPC1 and PLEKHG5, a RhoGEF
