Rap1gds1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable guanyl-nucleotide exchange factor activity. Involved in myosin filament assembly; positive regulation of GTPase activity; and vascular associated smooth muscle contraction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; extracellular space; and mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human RAP1GDS1 (Rap1 GTPase-GDP dissociation stimulator 1). [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 Rap1gds1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
