    FAMILY
  • small GTPase superfamily
  • Rho family
    • CATEGORY signaling , transport
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
        intracellular
    intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
    text cholesterol enriched microdomains (lipid rafts)
    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the control of microfilament assembly
  • playing a role in insulin stimulated glucose uptake and GLUT4 (SLC2A4) translocation
  • specifically required for insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in adipocytes
  • RHOQ and EXOC7 are essential for the polarized externalization of IGF1 receptor, and this process is necessary for axon specification
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS cellular trafficking transport
    text intracellular lipid and protein transport
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    signaling pathway in skeletal muscle that involves obscurin and the Rho GTPase RHOQ and implicate this pathway in new sarcomere formation
    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • regulating both total and plasma membrane CFTR expression by interacting with CFTR-associated ligand (CAL/GOPC)
  • OBSCN is a specific activator of RHOQ but not the Rho GTPases RAC1 and CDC42
    • cell & other
    REGULATION
    activated by GRF2 (C3G-CRK complex) in lipid rafts

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
    elevated Rhoq activity contributes to v-Rel-transformed chicken embryonic fibroblasts and demonstrate for the first time that a Rho factor alone is capable of inducing the transformation of primary cells (Tong 2007)
