Arf4 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable several functions, including GTP binding activity; NAD+-protein-arginine ADP-ribosyltransferase activity; and epidermal growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway and response to axon injury. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi membrane; dendritic spine; and ruffle membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm; glutamatergic synapse; and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human ARF4 (ARF GTPase 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Arf4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
