    basic FUNCTION
  • promoting proliferation of cells
  • regulation of GTPase activity
  • Arf GTPase-activating protein implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma, and that may regulate cell migration associated with the invasion of normal tissue by cancer cells
  • having functions nonredundant with ASAP1 to control cell movement and may have a role in cancer cell invasion
  • present in cell structures required for cell migration and invasion, such as focal adhesions, invadopodias, and podosomes, and are involved in endocytosis and cytoskeletal remodeling 0)
  • involvement in carcinogenesis and metastasis highlights the importance of the presented structure in general and the Ca2+-binding pocket in particular as it may give clues for designing inhibitors for therapeutic applications
  • novel function for ASAP3 in the regulation of cell migration through controlling ITGB1 dynamics
  • important regulator in cancer cell migration/invasion and actin-based cytoskeletal remodeling
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, proliferation/growth

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with ARF6 (has a phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate-dependent GAP activity specific for ARF6)
  • ARF6 GTPase-activating protein, essential for EGF-induced cell migration
  • regulates ITGB1 dynamics during EGF-stimulated cell migration by interaction with GRB2
  • ASAP3 linked with ACTG1 in the regulation of cytoskeletal maintenance and cell motility
  • cell & other
