UniProt functional annotation for Q5T5U3

UniProt code: Q5T5U3.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Functions as a GTPase-activating protein (GAP) for RHOA and CDC42. Downstream partner of ARF1 which may control Golgi apparatus structure and function. Also required for CTNNA1 recruitment to adherens junctions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15793564, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16184169}.
 
Subunit: Interacts with GTP-bound ARF1 and ARF6. Interacts with CTNNA1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15793564, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16184169, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16527809, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17347647}.
Subcellular location: Golgi apparatus membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cell junction. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Localization to the Golgi is dependent on interaction with GTP-bound ARF1.
Tissue specificity: Widely expressed with higher expression in brain, heart, skeletal muscle and placenta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12056806}.
Induction: Up-regulated upon cell differentiation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12056806}.
Ptm: Sumoylated with SUMO2 and SUMO3 in proliferating lymphocytes. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22922005}.
Miscellaneous: Depletion of ARHGAP21 induces cell spreading and accumulation of F-actin stress fibers.
Miscellaneous: Required for In1A-dependent entry of Listeria monocytogenes into cells.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAM22955.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
