Rasgrf1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables glutamate receptor binding activity. Involved in activation of GTPase activity; neuron projection development; and regulation of small GTPase mediated signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within regulation of NMDA receptor activity; regulation of neuronal synaptic plasticity; and type B pancreatic cell proliferation. Located in cytosol and growth cone. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; musculoskeletal system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human RASGRF1 (Ras protein specific guanine nucleotide releasing factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]
