Function |
Involved in cytoskeletal rearrangements required for phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and cell motility. Functions as a guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF), which activates Rac Rho small GTPases by exchanging bound GDP for free GTP. Its GEF activity may be enhanced by ELMO1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8657152}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000305}. Membrane {ECO:0000305}. Note=Recruited to membranes via its interaction with phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. {ECO:0000305}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas and ovary. Expressed at intermediate level in thymus, testes and colon.
