Recombinant Human Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 11 (ARHGEF11), Truncated

Uniprot Id

O15085

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ARHGEF11

Target Full Name

Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 11

Target Function

May play a role in the regulation of RhoA GTPase by guanine nucleotide-binding alpha-12 (GNA12) and alpha-13 (GNA13). Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA GTPase and may act as GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for GNA12 and GNA13. Involved in neurotrophin-induced neurite outgrowth.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Membrane. Note=Translocated to the membrane upon stimulation.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

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 a complex with G proteins and stimulate Rho-dependent signals. A similar protein in rat interacts with glutamate transporter EAAT4 and modulates its glutamate transport activity. Expression of the rat protein induces the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and its overexpression induces the formation of membrane ruffling and filopodia. Two alternative transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described.
