Description
Product Characteristics:
Small GTP-binding protein which cycles between an inactive GDP-bound and an active GTP-bound form, and the rate of cycling is regulated by guanine nucleotide exchange factors (GEF) and GTPase-activating proteins (GAP). GTP-binding protein that does not act as an allosteric activator of the cholera toxin catalytic subunit. Requires assistance from GTPase-activating proteins (GAPs) like RP2 and PDE6D, in order to cycle between inactive GDP-bound and active GTP-bound forms. Required for normal cytokinesis and cilia signaling.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, Nucleus, Cell membrane
Synonyms: ADP ribosylation factor like 3, ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 3, Arf like 3, Arf like protein 3, ARFL3, Arl3, ARL3_HUMAN.
Target Information: ADP-ribosylation factor-like 3 is a member of the ADP-ribosylation factor family of GTP-binding proteins. ARL3 binds guanine nucleotides but lacks ADP-ribosylation factor activity. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
