ARHGEF12
Function
May play a role in the regulation of RhoA GTPase by guanine nucleotide-binding alpha-12 (GNA12) and alpha-13 (GNA13). Acts as guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) for RhoA GTPase and may act as GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for GNA12 and GNA13.
Involvement in disease
A chromosomal aberration involving ARHGEF12 may be a cause of acute leukemia. Translocation t(11;11)(q23;23) with KMT2A/MLL1.
Tissue Specificity
Ubiquitously expressed. Isoform 2 is found in jejunum and testis.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
- Membrane
- Translocated to the membrane upon stimulation.
