Rapgef1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of GTPase activity; negative regulation of signal transduction; and platelet-derived growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in early endosome; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and phagocytic vesicle membrane. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human RAPGEF1 (Rap guanine nucleotide exchange factor 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
