Rap1gap Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity; protein homodimerization activity; and small GTPase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell-cell adhesion and positive regulation of phagocytosis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; early endosome; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including metanephros; nervous system; pancreas; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human RAP1GAP (RAP1 GTPase activating protein).

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 mouse Rap1gap often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
