    basic FUNCTION
  • acting as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that potentially links pathways that signal through RAC1, RHOA and CDC42
  • catalyzing guanine nucleotide exchange on RHOA and CDC42
  • functioning as an effector of RAC1
  • may also participate in axonal transport in the brain
  • guanine nucleotide exchange factor that has been shown to regulate both normal and tumor cell motility
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY

    protein
  • interacts specifically with the GTP-bound form of RAC1
  • role in negative regulation of receptor endocytosis by the small GTPase RAC1
