Rabbit anti-Human ARHGAP22 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q7Z5H3

Target Species

Human

Target Name

ARHGAP22

Target Full Name

Rho GTPase-activating protein 22

Target Function

Rho GTPase-activating protein involved in the signal transduction pathway that regulates endothelial cell capillary tube formation during angiogenesis. Acts as a GTPase activator for the RAC1 by converting it to an inactive GDP-bound state. Inhibits RAC1-dependent lamellipodia formation. May also play a role in transcription regulation via its interaction with VEZF1, by regulating activity of the endothelin-1 (EDN1) promoter.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Synonyms

ARHGAP22; RHG22_HUMAN; Rho GTPase activating protein 2; Rho GTPase activating protein 22; Rho GTPase-activating protein 22; Rho type GTPase activating protein 22; Rho-type GTPase-activating protein 22; RhoGAP2; RhoGap22

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the GTPase activating protein family which activates a GTPase belonging to the RAS superfamily of small GTP-binding proteins. The encoded protein is insulin-responsive, is dependent on the kinase Akt and requires the Akt-dependent 14-3-3 binding protein which binds sequentially to two serine residues. The result of these interactions is regulation of cell motility. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
