    text
  • Rac-specific Rho GTPase-activating protein that is recruited to plasma membranes by binding to activated ARF6
  • basic FUNCTION
  • mediator of the well-established antagonism of RAC1 by RHOA that suppresses leading edge protrusion and promotes cell retraction to achieve cellular polarity
  • plays a role in protecting cells against force-induced apoptosis, and this function is mediated by FLNA
  • Rac GTPase-activating protein (GAP), that is a mediator of RHO/ROCK-dependent amoeboid movement of carcinoma cells
  • ARHGAP24 and its close relatives are key regulators that promote the reciprocal inhibitory relationship between RHOA and RAC1 in cell shape changes and the mesenchymal-amoeboid transition in tumour cells
  • may function as a mediator of the regulation of RAC1 by ARF6

  • is an FLNA-binding GTPase-activating protein specific for RAC1
  • is a GAP for RAC1 and a binding partner of FLNA (filamin A), a widely expressed F-actin (filamentous actin)-cross-linking protein that binds many different proteins that are important in cell regulation
  • binds to ARF6 through its pleckstrin homology domain
