regulatory

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic

basic FUNCTION	with RASGRF1, control pivotal aspects of neural development, including neuronal differentiation and process outgrowth
	is required for normal brain development
	play an essential role in invasion of the terminal end buds (TEBs) into the surrounding fat pad during mammary gland ductal morphogenesis
	RASGRF1 and ARHGAP5 function to modulate Rho signaling in response to integrin engagement
	important regulators of RhoGTPase activity in mammalian cells
	role in the expression of the two collaborative proteases MMP14 and MMP2, thereby affecting matrix remodelling and angiogenesis
	probable target for the amplification at 14q12, and promotes cells spreading and migration by negatively regulating RhoA activity in hepatocellular carcinoma cells
	critical transducer element of hematopoietic stem cell self-renewal activity and long-term engraftment
	may promote tumorigenesis through a RAC1/ROS dependent mechanism
	RASGRF1 and ARHGAP5 are essential genes that have distinct, but overlapping roles in the developing nervous system
	is required for mammary gland morphogenesis
