Summary: Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of endocytic recycling; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and small GTPase-mediated signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within actin cytoskeleton organization and positive regulation of cell migration. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human ARHGAP8 (Rho GTPase activating protein 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
