Summary: This gene is a member of the human ARF gene family whose members encode small guanine nucleotide-binding proteins that stimulate the ADP-ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin and play a role in vesicular trafficking and as activators of phospholipase D. The gene products include 5 ARF proteins and 11 ARF-like proteins and constitute one family of the RAS superfamily. The ARF proteins are categorized as class I, class II and class III; this gene is a class II member. The members of each class share a common gene organization. The ARF4 gene spans approximately 12kb and contains six exons and five introns. This gene is the most divergent member of the human ARFs. Conflicting map positions at 3p14 or 3p21 have been reported for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Study identified two novel sodium iodide symporter (NIS) interactors, valosin-containing protein (VCP) and ADP-ribosylation factor 4 (ARF4), with critical roles in modulating NIS function as well as correlating markedly with clinical outcome in papillary thyroid cancer. ARF4 enhanced NIS vesicular trafficking from the Golgi to the plasma membrane, whereas VCP governed NIS proteolysis.

In summary, the authors show here that hepatitis C virus infection is associated with an upregulation of ARF4, which promotes hepatitis C virus replication. Upon hepatitis C virus infection, CREB3 was redistributed to nucleus and activated ARF4 transcription.

Data suggest that, when compared to intestinal epithelial cells (IECs) from germ-free mice, IECs from mice with commensal bacteria exhibit increased expression of microRNA-21-5p; up-regulation of expression of microRNA-21-5p appears to increase IEC permeability and up-regulates ADP ribosylation factor 4 (Arf4/ARF4) in mouse and human cells.

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.
