Rabbit anti-Human ARHGEF1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q92888

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ARHGEF1

Target Full Name

Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1

Target Function

Seems to play a role in the regulation of RhoA GTPase by guanine nucleotide-binding alpha-12 (GNA12) and alpha-13 (GNA13) subunits. Acts as GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for GNA12 and GNA13, and as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA GTPase. Activated G alpha 13/GNA13 stimulates the RhoGEF activity through interaction with the RGS-like domain. This GEF activity is inhibited by binding to activated GNA12. Mediates angiotensin-2-induced RhoA activation.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Membrane. Note=Translocated to the membrane by activated GNA13 or LPA stimulation.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

Target Synonyms

Target Background

Rho GTPases play a fundamental role in numerous cellular processes that are initiated by extracellular stimuli that work through G protein coupled receptors. The encoded protein may form complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, but the full-length nature of some variants has not been defined.
