Target Background
This gene encodes a large protein that functions as a GDP to GTP exchange factor. This protein promotes the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, thereby playing a role in cell migration and growth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015],catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,domain:The N-terminal DBL/GEF domain specifically catalyzes nucleotide exchange for RAC1, leading to the activation of Jun kinase and the production of membrane ruffles. The second DBL/GEF domain is an exchange factor for rhoa and induces the formation of stress fibers.,function:Promotes the exchange of GDP by GTP. Together with leukocyte antigen-related (LAR) protein, it could play a role in coordinating cell-matrix and cytoskeletal rearrangements necessary for cell migration and cell growth.,PTM:Phosphorylated on serine residue(s).,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. CAMK Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 CRAL-TRIO domain.,similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 2 DH (DBL-homology) domains.,similarity:Contains 2 PH domains.,similarity:Contains 2 SH3 domains.,similarity:Contains 4 spectrin repeats.,subunit:Interacts to form a complex with leukocyte antigen related protein.,tissue specificity:Highly expressed in heart, skeletal muscle, brain, pancreas, placenta, liver, kidney and lung.,
