UniProt functional annotation for Q53QZ3

UniProt code: Q53QZ3.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: GTPase activator for the Rho-type GTPases by converting them to an inactive GDP-bound state. Has activity toward RAC1. Overexpression results in an increase in actin stress fibers and cell contraction. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12650940}.
 
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12650940}. Membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12650940}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12650940}.
Tissue specificity: Expressed in lung, liver and lymphoid cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12650940}.
Domain: The PH domain is required for localization to the membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12650940}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAF67618.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAF67633.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=AAF87324.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
