Asap1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity and phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including positive regulation of membrane tubulation; protein localization to cilium; and regulation of postsynapse organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of dendritic spine development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; centriolar satellite; and dendritic spine. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and podosome. Orthologous to human ASAP1 (ArfGAP with SH3 domain, ankyrin repeat and PH domain 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 Asap1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
