ASAP1 ArfGAP with SH3 domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 1

Gene ID: 50807, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PAP; PAG2; AMAP1; DDEF1; ZG14P; CENTB4

Summary

This gene encodes an ADP-ribosylation factor (ARF) GTPase-activating protein. The GTPase-activating activity is stimulated by phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2), and is greater towards ARF1 and ARF5, and lesser for ARF6. This gene maybe involved in regulation of membrane trafficking and cytoskeleton remodeling. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
