ARHGAP24 Gene Summary [Human]

This gene encodes a Rho-GTPase activating protein, which is specific for the small GTPase family member Rac. Binding of the encoded protein by filamin A targets it to sites of membrane protrusion, where it antognizes Rac. This results in suppression of lamellae formation and promotion of retraction to regulate cell polarity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]

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 ARHGAP24 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
  • PH domain
  • GTPase activator
  • protein binding
  • GTPase Activating Protein domain
  • Pleckstrin homology-like domain
  • GTPase-activator protein for Rho-like GTPases
  • RhoGAP
