ARHGAP4 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a member of the rhoGAP family of proteins which play a role in the regulation of small GTP-binding proteins belonging to the RAS superfamily. The protein encoded by the orthologous gene in rat is localized to the Golgi complex and can redistribute to microtubules. The rat protein stimulates the activity of some Rho GTPases in vitro. Genomic deletions of this gene and a neighboring gene have been found in patients with nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human ARHGAP4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • RhoGAP domain
  • RGS homology domain
  • Fes/CIP4, and EFC/F-BAR homology domain
  • GTPase activator
  • protein binding
  • Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs domain
  • GTPase-activator protein for Rho-like GTPases
  • RhoGAP
  • identical protein binding
  • Src Homology 3 domain superfamily
