Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including calmodulin binding activity; guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity; and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of neuron projection development; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cell body; and membrane raft. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Biomarker of acute myocardial infarction.

What's a GeneRIF?

observations establish Rin as a neuronal specific regulator of neurotrophin signaling, required to couple NGF stimulation to sustain activation of p38 MAP kinase and b-Raf signaling cascades required for neuronal development [rin]
Title: Rin GTPase couples nerve growth factor signaling to p38 and b-Raf/ERK pathways to promote neuronal differentiation.
These observations identify an unsuspected role for Rin in neuronal PACAP signaling and establish a novel Galpha-Src-Rin-HSP27 signal transduction pathway as a critical element in PACAP38-mediated neuronal differentiation signaling.
Title: Pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide 38-mediated Rin activation requires Src and contributes to the regulation of HSP27 signaling during neuronal differentiation.
Rit is a convergence point for multiple signaling pathways and it functions to promote axonal growth but inhibit dendritic growth via activation of ERK1/2
Title: The novel GTPase Rit differentially regulates axonal and dendritic growth.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
