Arhgef5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of JUN kinase activity; positive regulation of protein import; and positive regulation of stress fiber assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis; myeloid dendritic cell chemotaxis; and positive regulation of podosome assembly. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human ARHGEF5 (Rho guanine nucleotide exchange factor 5).

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 rat Arhgef5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
