ARAP2 ArfGAP with RhoGAP domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 2

Gene ID: 116984, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PARX; CENTD1

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains ARF-GAP, RHO-GAP, ankyrin repeat, RAS-associating, and pleckstrin homology domains. The protein is a phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-trisphosphate-dependent Arf6 GAP that binds RhoA-GTP, but it lacks the predicted catalytic arginine in the RHO-GAP domain and does not have RHO-GAP activity. The protein associates with focal adhesions and functions downstream of RhoA to regulate focal adhesion dynamics. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2008]
