Description
Product Characteristics: Small GTP-binding protein which cycles between a GDP- bound inactive and a GTP-bound active form. In its active form interacts with and regulates several effectors including MAP4K4, MINK1 and TNIK. Part of a signaling complex composed of NEDD4, RAP2A and TNIK which regulates neuronal dendrite extension and arborization during development. More generally, it is part of several signaling cascades and may regulate cytoskeletal rearrangements, cell migration, cell adhesion and cell spreading.
Target Information: human homolog is a GTPase and member of the RAS oncogene family [RGD, Feb 2006]
